The GY-VL53L0X is a compact and efficient distance sensor utilizing ST's FlightSense technology, designed to precisely measure distances using time-of-flight (TOF) principles. Employing a laser light source, it emits pulses of infrared light and measures the time it takes for the light to travel to the nearest object and back to the sensor. This enables the sensor to act as a miniature, self-contained lidar system, providing accurate distance measurements without being significantly affected by the reflectance of the target object.
