Distance sensing (VL53L5CX) with 64 pixels up to 4 meters at 15Hz. The SparkFun Qwiic ToF Imager is state of the art, 64 pixel Time-of-Flight (ToF), multizone 4 meter ranging sensor with milimeter resolution built around the VL53L5CX from ST. This library supports reading distances up to 4m across all 64 sensors at up to 15Hz. Multiple sensors can be daisy-chained for additional readings but data rates are limited by the 400kHz max I2C bus speed.

SparkFun Qwiic Time-of-Flight Sensor VL53L5CX Arduino Library

SparkFun Time-of-Flight Sensor VL53L5CX (image removed)

SparkFun Time-of-Flight 8x8 multizone ranging sensor with wide field of view

The SparkFun Qwiic ToF Imager is built around VL53L5CX from ST Electronics; a state of the art, Time-of-Flight (ToF), multizone ranging sensor enhancing the ST FlightSense product family. This chip integrates a SPAD array, physical infrared filters, and diffractive optical elements (DOE) to achieve the best ranging performance in various ambient lighting conditions with a range of cover glass materials. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

Multizone distance measurements are possible up to 8x8 zones with a wide 63° diagonal FoV which can be reduced by software. Thanks to ST Histogram patented algorithms, the VL53L5CX is able to detect different objects within the FoV. The Histogram also provides immunity to cover glass crosstalk beyond 60 cm.

Ideal for 3D room mapping, obstacle detection for robotics, gesture recognition, IoT, laser-assisted autofocus, and AR/VR enhancement, the Qwiic connector on this sensor makes integration easy.
