TOF200C VL53L0X Distance Sensor Time-Of-Flight high precision

The TOF200C module uses the ST VL53L0X time-of-flight laser ranging sensor to measure distance by timing reflected light. It is typically interfaced over an I2C bus so it can be read by microcontrollers like Arduino or ESP32.

Width: 21.5 mm

Pinout — TOF200C VL53L0X Distance Sensor Time-Of-Flight high precision

Pin	Signal	Description
`VIN`	power	Module power input for the VL53L0X board, typically supplied from 3.3–5V depending on module regulator.
`GND`	ground	Ground reference for power and I2C signals.
`SDA`	SDA	I2C data line for reading distance measurements from the VL53L0X.
`SCL`	SCL	I2C clock line driven by the host controller for VL53L0X communication.
`INT`	interrupt	Interrupt output from the VL53L0X, used to signal measurement/data-ready events.
`SHUT`	enable	Shutdown/reset control input for the VL53L0X; drive low to disable or reset the sensor.
