Key Features:

• Laser Time-of-Flight technology (ToF) for millimeter-level accuracy

• Measures distances up to 2 meters (200cm)

• Supports UART and I2C communication modes

• Built-in voltage regulator supports 3.3V–5V systems

• Compact and lightweight for drones, robots, and smart IoT devices

• Compatible with Arduino, STM32, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi

Product Description (Detailed):

The GY-53 VL53L0X ToF Laser Distance Sensor Module is a next-generation LIDAR sensor that measures absolute distance using laser-based time-of-flight technology. Unlike traditional IR sensors, it offers high accuracy, resistance to ambient light, and fast response time even on dark surfaces.

This module includes the VL53L0X sensor chip and onboard components like voltage regulation, level shifting, and dual interface support (UART & I2C), making it ready-to-use for both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

With its small form factor and wide compatibility, the GY-53 is ideal for applications like autonomous navigation, gesture recognition, proximity detection, and intelligent obstacle avoidance systems.

How to Use:

1. Connect VCC, GND, TX, RX or SDA, SCL pins based on your communication protocol (UART/I2C).

2. Interface with Arduino or microcontroller using UART (default) or reconfigure to I2C with commands.

3. Use Arduino VL53L0X library for I2C operation.

4. Read distance values via serial monitor or display.

5. Adjust sensitivity and range through software commands if needed.

To switch from UART to I2C, short the onboard jumper as per datasheet or guide.

Applications:

• Autonomous robot navigation & obstacle avoidance

• Height sensing for drones or 3D printers

• Industrial distance measurement

• Smart taps, touchless counters, gesture detection

• IoT security and motion detection systems

Package Includes:

• 1 × GY-53 VL53L0X LIDAR ToF Distance Sensor Module
