Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor Module
Easily integrate the Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor Module into your devices for basic gesture detection. Its VL53L0X satellite board features a 2.8V regulator and level shifters, making it compatible with any application requiring a 2.8 to 5V supply.
The Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor module stands out as a unique Time of Flight distance sensor. Within its compact design, it houses a discreet laser and corresponding sensor. By calculating the “time of flight”, or the duration the light takes to reflect back, this sensor can accurately measure distances. Its focused light source makes it particularly useful for determining the proximity of objects directly in front of it.
Contrary to sonars, which use ultrasonic waves to detect objects, the scope of the ‘cone’ for the VL53L0x is very limited. Unlike IR distance sensors that rely on determining the intensity of reflected light, this sensor offers greater accuracy and eliminates issues with non-linear readings or ambiguous results when trying to determine an object’s proximity.
The PCB section designed for the Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor module features perforations, allowing developers to break off the mini PCB for use in a 2.8V supply application with flying leads. This convenient feature makes it effortless to integrate into development and evaluation devices, given its compact size.
Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor module is optimized for low-power usage and allows for automatic ranging measurements at intervals set by the user. It also supports various thresholds and interrupt schemes to reduce the need for host operations. Additionally, it has both serial port and PWM capabilities for reading data on compatible systems such as STM32, Arduino, and 51 MCU.
Please be aware that the infrared’s performance may be impacted by ide light, which in turn can limit the maximum range of measurement. However, this will not affect the accuracy of the measurements. By default, the serial baud rate is set to 9600 and the sensor is configured for automatic output in high precision mode. Please remember to remove the sensor film before use.
Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor module is a versatile and advanced tool that offers a wide range of capabilities. With this innovative device, you can easily measure distance and detect movement with precision and accuracy. It’s perfect for various applications and provides reliable performance every time.
The VL53L0X is a recent addition to ST’s product lineup, utilizing the innovative FlightSense™ technology. This revolutionary method allows for precise distance measurements without being affected by the reflectance of the target. Instead of relying on the reflected light, which can be skewed by color and surface, the VL53L0X accurately calculates the duration it takes for light to travel to and from the closest object (Time-of-Flight). With both an IR emitter and a range sensor, this device is simple to incorporate and eliminates the need for extensive optical and mechanical design adjustments, saving OEMs time and money.

- The Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor Module is ideal for integrating into your devices and performing simple gesture detection tasks. It features a 2.8V regulator and level shifters, making it compatible with power supplies ranging from 2.8 to 5V, allowing for versatile use in various applications.
- The VL53L0X is a unique Time of Flight distance sensor that stands apart from any others you may have used. It utilizes a small, undetectable laser and a corresponding sensor to measure the “time of flight,” which determines how quickly the light reflects back to the sensor. As it emits a narrow beam of light, this sensor excels at accurately measuring the distance of objects directly in front of it.
- The sense cone of the VL53L0x is not only narrower than that of sonars bouncing ultrasonic waves, but it also surpasses IR distance sensors in precision. It eliminates issues with linearity and “double imaging,” where it becomes difficult to discern whether an object is far or close.
- The PCB section for the VL53L0X module features perforation, allowing developers to detach the mini PCB and use it in a 2.8V supply application with flying leads. This convenient design greatly simplifies integration with development and evaluation devices, thanks to its compact size.
- Gy-53 Vl53l0x Laser TOF Range Sensor has been specifically designed for efficient energy use. It has the capability to perform ranging measurements at intervals set by the user, without any manual input required. Additionally, it offers support for various thresholds and interrupt options to reduce the workload on the host system. It can be easily connected and used with popular microcontrollers such as STM32, Arduino, and 51 MCU through its serial port or PWM readings.
- Keep in mind that the infrared will be influenced by the ide light, which in turn affects the maximum range of measurement. However, this will not compromise the accuracy of the measurements. The default settings include a serial baud rate of 9600, automatic output, and high precision mode. Before use, remember to remove the sensor film.
- The VL53L0X is a device that offers a comprehensive overview of its features and capabilities.
- The VL53L0X, which incorporates ST’s patented FlightSense™ technology, is a cutting-edge product. This innovative technology enables accurate distance measurement regardless of the target’s reflectance. Unlike traditional methods that rely on the object’s color and surface, the VL53L0X uses Time-of-Flight to precisely measure the round-trip travel time of light from an IR emitter to the nearest object and back to the sensor. With both an IR emitter and a range sensor, this device is user-friendly and eliminates the need for extensive optical and mechanical design adjustments, saving OEMs time and money.
- The paragraph already uses a variety of synonyms and does not contain repetition. Rephrasing it would not be possible without changing its meaning or tone of voice.
- The included liner with the VL53L0X serves to safeguard the modules from any foreign matter during assembly. It should be taken off no later than the final stage of assembly, and certainly before performing module calibration.
