Description

SparkFun Distance Sensor Breakout - 4 Meter, VL53L1X (Qwiic)The VL53L1X from STMicroelectronics uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) to emit an Infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m away with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I 2 C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system so no soldering is required to connect it to the

The VL53L1X from STMicroelectronics uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) to emit an Infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m away with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I 2 C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system so 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.

Features

  • Operating Voltage: 2.6V-3.5V
  • Power Consumption: 20 mW @10Hz
  • Measurement Range: ~40mm to 4,000mm
  • Resolution: +/-1mm
  • Light Source: Class 1 940nm VCSEL
  • 7-bit unshifted I2C Address: 0x29
  • Field of View: 15° - 27°
  • Max Read Rate: 50Hz

Each VL53L1X sensor features a precision to be 1mm with an accuracy around +/-5mm and a minimum read distance of this sensor is 4cm. The field of view for this little breakout is fairly narrow at 15°-27° with a read rate of up to 50Hz. Make sure to power this board appropriately since it will need 2.6V-3.5V to operate. Lastly, please be sure to remove the protective sticker on the VL53L1X before use otherwise it will, most assuredly, throw off your readings.

Note: The I 2 C address of the VL53L1X is 0x29 and is hardware defined. A multiplexer/Mux is required to communicate to multiple VL53L1X sensors on a single bus. If you need to use more than one VL53L1X sensor consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout.

Note: CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT CLASSIFIED IEC 60825-1 2014.

Solves the problem of the ground location.
Color: White, Size: 5FT
In the master bath a lot of things need power. It really helps to be able to rotate the plug head to leave room for other devices.

Fabulous idea!
Color: White, Size: 3FT(13A)
I needed to puppy proof my sewing room. It has 4 stations for various machines and ironing. Lots of cords including TV, dyson vacuum, and computer. I bought two sizes, For my house the shorter one works from the standard wall outlet to above desks, ets. That included a small curve for positioning. There are 4 outlets, surge protected and c and a. My only con is the size. It is a very thick size. For something on the wall I wanted it flatter. The cord is a flat cord, and it came with connectors to put on the wall to contain the cords. If it were flatter it would be perfect. It is a bit bulky. It sure is very functional for all my needs. I also bought one of the stick ones which I would not do again. Heavy and even bigger to contend with. They both work well, It would depend on your own needs for the cord size. But certainly a good idea and the price is even better.

Does the job well
Color: White, Size: 1.5FT(13A)
I needed this as my wall outlet wasn't located near enough to my needs. Since it does exactly what the listing describes so, from my point of view, it gets 5 stars. Price was good. Well made.

So convenient
Color: White, Size: 5FT
Perfect function for my charging system and the length is a right to my night stand. I like that it has surge protection, also I can plug in my phone and watch charger directly. I would buy it again next time.
