M5Stack Mini ToF Unit 90° VL53L0C

The M5Stack Mini ToF Unit with 90-degree arrangement is a compact and precise time-of-flight distance sensor for your M5Stack projects. Equipped with the VL53L0CXV0DH chip from STMicroelectronics, it enables contactless distance measurement using laser time-of-flight. Thanks to its 90° design, this unit is particularly suitable for applications with lateral alignment or tight space conditions. Communication takes place via I2C, allowing easy integration into existing M5Stack environments. The minimum detection distance is 3 cm, and the maximum range is about 1.2 m under optimal conditions. With measurement accuracy in the millimeter range, the unit is ideal for precise distance measurements in automation, robotics, or IoT applications. The module is fully compatible with the Arduino IDE, UIFlow, and PlatformIO, facilitating development and implementation. The included connection cables and compact housing format ensure easy installation. Due to low power consumption, the ToF Unit is also suitable for battery-operated projects.


Features:

  • The built-in VL53L0CXV0DH sensor works with time-of-flight technology for precise distance measurement.
  • The right-angle 90° arrangement of the sensor opening facilitates side mounting with limited space.
  • Communication takes place via a standardized I2C interface with a fixed address.
  • The minimum measurement distance is 30 mm, and the maximum range is about 1.2 m.
  • The high measurement accuracy enables reliable results in the millimeter range.
  • Thanks to support for Arduino, UIFlow, and PlatformIO, easy programming is ensured.
  • The compact format is ideal for mobile or embedded applications.
  • The module is delivered with connection cables included and is ready to use immediately.

Application examples:

  • Lateral distance measurement on servo robots or mobile platforms
  • Level detection in narrow containers
  • Presence detection in enclosures or access modules
  • Position feedback on movable components
  • Contactless proximity detection in IoT devices
