Gorillacell Module 050: TOF Distance Sensor
Table of Contents
Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensor is a device used to measure the distance between the sensor and an object. It operates using the Time-of-Flight principle, which measures the time taken by a light signal (usually an infrared beam) to travel to an object and reflect back to the sensor.
The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with a ToF Ranging Sensor module powered by the VL53L0X IC. The VL53L0X uses a laser-based infrared emitter to achieve precise and fast distance measurements, making it suitable for applications such as object detection, proximity sensing, and gesture recognition.
BASIC INFORMATION
| Device | Category | Interface | Chipset | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Sensor Cell | Serial I2C | VL53L0X | I2C = 0x29 |
PINOUT
It has 4 pins which are
- GND - for the ground pin,
- VCC - for the supply voltage,
- SDA – for the I2C serial data pin, and
- SCL – for the I2C serial clock pin.
The TOF Distance Sensor module with VL53L0X driver chip can be access through I2C address 0x29.
