Grove Ranging sensor VL53L0X

--World’s smallest Time-of-Flight ranging and gesture detection sensor

Introduction:

The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight(ToF) laser-ranging module housed in the smallest package on the market today,providing accurate distance measurement whatever the target reflectances unlike conventional technologies.

Usage:

Download all the source files and open one of example,compile,upload,and running.Open the corresponding Serial Port to watch the result.

Notice:

Not recommended for use under bright sun light. It will affects the accuracy of infrared. The range of measurement:10~2000mm(It is recommended to be within 1 meter in normal mode),further more,It has different performance when measure different color of object.Refer to doc/vl53l0x-datasheet.pdf to get more detail. This module supports:

• single ranging mode:Perform measurement once when calling the measurement function.
• continuous ranging mode:Perform measurement continuous with out interval time when calling the measurement function.
• high speed ranging mode : Reduce measurement time.
• high accuracy mode :Higher accuracy.but it will costs much more time.
• long distance mode :Longer measurement distance.
