ToF Module VL53L0X Time-of-Flight Laser Ranging Sensor Laser Distance Sensor Module GROVE I2C

Description:

TOF?that employs time-of-flight techniques to resolve distance between the emit point and the get point of a subject, measuring the round trip time of an artificial light signal provided by a laser.

This unit integrated a distance measuring sensor VL53L0x providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectance, unlike conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances up to 2m in less than 30ms.

This unit comunicates with M5Core via I2C(0x29).

Noitce: If you found TOF performance unstable, means what you have could be the old-version hardware PCB board, Following will teach you how to fix it

• Disassembling TOF and Check the PCB board, if you see it like this, means it is the NEW(fixed) version.?
  
  
  
  
  ?
• If not, take off the two MOSFETs (AO3400A), and connect SCL,SDA from GROVE directly to SCL,SDA on VL53L0x. See the above picture for wiring.
  
  
  
  
  ?
• In this case, make sure you use the 3.3V on SDA and SCL, M5Core GROVE provide 3.3V to data pins, 5V to power pin. only 3.3v allowed on VL53L0x.
