VL53L8CX Time-of-Flight 8×8-Zone Distance Sensor Carrier with Voltage Regulators, 400cm Max
This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST’s VL53L8CX laser-ranging sensor, which offers fast and accurate ranging up to 4 m through a digital I²C or SPI interface. It can measure absolute distances to multiple targets simultaneously across multiple zones, providing enough data for a depth map with up to 8×8 resolution, and has improved performance in ambient light compared to previous sensors. The board includes voltage regulators and level shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 3.2 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards. Note: This is not recommended for use with 8-bit MCUs; for such applications, consider the VL53L1X, VL53L0X carrier, or VL6180X carrier.
