Description:

The VL53L0X from ST Microelectronics is a time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module. This board is a carrier for the VL53L0X, so we recommend careful reading of the VL53L0X datasheet (1MB pdf) before using this product.

Ranging measurements are available through the sensor's I²C (TWI) interface, which is also used to configure sensor settings, and the sensor provides two additional pins: a shutdown input and an interrupt output.

PIN Description:

VDD  Regulated 2.8 V output. Almost 150 mA is available to power external components. (If you want to bypass the internal regulator, you can instead use this pin as a 2.8 V input with VIN disconnected.)

VIN  This is the main 2.6 V to 5.5 V power supply connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the I2C lines high to this level.

GND  The ground (0 V) connection for your power supply. Your I2C control source must also share a common ground with this board.

SDA    Level-shifted I²C data line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V

SCL      Level-shifted I²C clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V

XSHUT    This pin is an active-low shutdown input; the board pulls it up to VDD to enable the sensor by default. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. This input is not level-shifted.
