With a maximum sensing distance of 2 meters and a working voltage range of 2.6V to 5.5V, this compact sensor is perfect for a variety of applications, ensuring accurate readings even in less-than-ideal conditions. ## Description 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 VSCL Level-shifted I²C clock line: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 VXSHUT 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. Package includes : 1x L53L0X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor ## Features - A time-of-flight ranging system integrated into a compact module - Range from ±3% at best to over ±10% in less optimal conditions - Maximum Sensoring Distance: 2m - Working Voltage: 2.6V - 5.5V ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Manufacturer | Gowoops | | Part Number | 2018004500 | | Item Weight | 0.81 ounces | | Package Dimensions | 5 x 3.6 x 0.5 inches | | Item model number | 8595758983 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Voltage | 5 Volts | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | ## Images ![Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout 940nm GY-VL53L0XV2 Laser Distance Module I2C IIC - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RUnKQMfDL.jpg) ![Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout 940nm GY-VL53L0XV2 Laser Distance Module I2C IIC - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DuVdZixvL.jpg) ![Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout 940nm GY-VL53L0XV2 Laser Distance Module I2C IIC - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81UzpFE5bBL.jpg) ![Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout 940nm GY-VL53L0XV2 Laser Distance Module I2C IIC - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AwHFQHczL.jpg) ![Time-of-Flight (ToF) Laser Ranging Sensor Breakout 940nm GY-VL53L0XV2 Laser Distance Module I2C IIC - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rczIcN5yL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: what is the difference between this and the adafruit version?** A: less hardware between the device and the user. You have to cope with raw input/output signaling **Q: Do you think this will detect paper? I want to use it on a printer for a project that will turn on a light when paper prints.** A: Not sure that it will discriminate the thickness of a sheet of paper sliding flat against a background, but it will definately ... respond to ... discriminate a sheet of paper placed in 1/2" to 1" in front of another object. My reason for chosing this device was that the classic sonic sensor always failed during outside temperature swings. the VL53 does not. **Q: Where can I download the schematic?** A: Please refer to: http://osoyoo.com/?p=24350 **Q: Do you have a spec sheet on the dimensions of the board?** A: Hi, please refer to this link: https://osoyoo.com/2019/04/21/arduino-lesson-vl53l0x-time-of-flight-distance-sensor/ ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well/Sort of Related Rant *by J***J on July 7, 2019* This is a pretty decent VL53L0X breakout board, and the level shifting is nice compared to earlier breakouts for this particular chipset/family (no worry about the 2.7V <->3.3V logic levels). Bought about four of them since I could rush deliver through Prime, and all of them worked and gave out good readings. At least one other review posted here says it works with the Adafruit VL53L0X library, and I'm sure it does (I was working on a different embedded system and rolled my own), but please realize Adafruit isn't getting any money from this board so if you just buy this one (or any generic board out there) and then use Adafruit's (or Sparkfun's or Pololu's ) libraries, you're not really contributing to a development ecosystem that is going to maintain itself longterm. Usually the way a new chip/SOC gets brought to the masses is through a company like Adafruit or Sparkfun or Pololu investing their people and time and money into figuring out how to interface to it and then selling that board with an open-source library that they wrote. Within a few months, then generic knockoff boards will appear on Amazon and Ebay, often exact clones of the PCBs that Adafruit generated (this one is a bit different, but I've literally seen boards that say Adafruit on them, but clearly aren't from Adafruit), and they will undercut the price from Adafruit since they don't have to invest the money in making it, they just take it and make it themselves. I don't work for any of these companies, please be aware, but I do worry we'll be forced to go back to the dark-ages eventually if these companies have to close up since they're not being supported. I know everyone has a different financial situation, and I'm not saying I'm above it either, but if you can spare the extra money, getting the actual original board from Sparkfun or Adafruit or wherever, would help the community as a whole. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! Compatible with Adafruit's VL53L0X library *by K***E on March 10, 2019* I'm currently using this in a project with a NodeMCU using the Arduino IDE with Adafruit's VL53L0X library. It works great and required very little setup -- just use Adafruit's instructions and the default I2C port on whatever device you are using. They also have a great Python library (Adafruit Blinka) if you want to use the Raspberry Pi, but they do not support Tinkerboard and many other single board linux computers, so proceed with caution. It would be possible to add support for your board and experienced users might be able to do this quickly/easily, but it would require you making changes to Adafruit's default setup. Very accurate on shiny surfaces. Also the default I2C address is 0x29 but it is very easy to change the address in software:1. pull all shutoff pins low2. delay about 10 ms to cause sensors to reset3. pull shutoff on device whose address you want to change high4. send appropriate command (_lox_.begin(_address_) where _lox_ is the sensor you defined and _address_ is the desired address) to the sensor to change the i2c address3. pull shutoff on next sensor you want to change the address on high, repeating steps 3-5 until you have changed all the addresses.Pulling shutoff low or cutting the power will reset the sensors, so you will have to repeat this process at every boot.Amazing and cheap little modules. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Work for what you want *by K***5 on September 19, 2019* Good board and easy to start but development on this chip is a mess. Someone who isn’t that versed in embedded coding has to go through a baptism by fire. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/81742237-time-of-flight-tof-laser-ranging-sensor-breakout-940nm-gy](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/81742237-time-of-flight-tof-laser-ranging-sensor-breakout-940nm-gy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
