TOF050C Module with Distance Sensor VL6180X 50cm
The TOF050C Module with Distance Sensor VL6180X 50cm is a compact, high-accuracy proximity and ranging device built around STMicroelectronics’ VL6180X chip, leveraging advanced Flight Sense technology for reliable time-of-flight (ToF) measurements. This module emits an invisible 850nm infrared laser pulse and precisely calculates the distance to a target by timing the reflection’s return, delivering results independent of the object’s color, texture, or reflectance. Unlike conventional infrared or ultrasonic sensors, which can be affected by ambient conditions or surface variations, the TOF050C maintains consistent performance with a resolution of 1mm, making it ideal for applications requiring exact short-range detection.
Features:
- Accurate time-of-flight distance measurement from 20mm to 500mm with 1mm resolution.
- Independent of target reflectance for reliable performance on various surfaces.
- Integrated 850nm Class 1 laser for eye-safe operation.
- I2C interface with fixed address 0x29 for easy microcontroller integration.
- 25° field of view for focused detection.
- Built-in ambient light sensor with adjustable gains up to 40x.
- Low power consumption and wide voltage compatibility.
- Gesture recognition support via distance and signal processing.
- Cross-talk compensation and ambient light rejection for robust accuracy.
