OPTICAL RANGING // VL53L1X BREAKOUT & PUREMODULES

ST VL53L1X Time-of-Flight Breakout Board

The Pure Engineering VL53L1X Breakout Board exposes the ST VL53L1X 4-meter Time-of-Flight laser-ranging sensor on both a 100-mil pitch header and a 62-mil PUREmodules card edge. An onboard regulator accepts 3 V to 5 V input power for rapid prototyping on Arduino, STM32 Nucleo, and nRF52 platforms.
