Description

SparkFun Distance Sensor Breakout - 4 Meter, VL53L1X (Qwiic)The VL53L1X from STMicroelectronics uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) to emit an Infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m away with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I 2 C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system so no soldering is required to connect it to the

The VL53L1X from STMicroelectronics uses a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) to emit an Infrared laser to time the reflection to the target. That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 40mm to 4m away with millimeter resolution! To make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I 2 C, utilizing our handy Qwiic system so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

Features

  • Operating Voltage: 2.6V-3.5V
  • Power Consumption: 20 mW @10Hz
  • Measurement Range: ~40mm to 4,000mm
  • Resolution: +/-1mm
  • Light Source: Class 1 940nm VCSEL
  • 7-bit unshifted I2C Address: 0x29
  • Field of View: 15° - 27°
  • Max Read Rate: 50Hz

Each VL53L1X sensor features a precision to be 1mm with an accuracy around +/-5mm and a minimum read distance of this sensor is 4cm. The field of view for this little breakout is fairly narrow at 15°-27° with a read rate of up to 50Hz. Make sure to power this board appropriately since it will need 2.6V-3.5V to operate. Lastly, please be sure to remove the protective sticker on the VL53L1X before use otherwise it will, most assuredly, throw off your readings.

Note: The I 2 C address of the VL53L1X is 0x29 and is hardware defined. A multiplexer/Mux is required to communicate to multiple VL53L1X sensors on a single bus. If you need to use more than one VL53L1X sensor consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout.

Note: CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT CLASSIFIED IEC 60825-1 2014.

Compact, comes with a brush to clean, quality stainless steel
I compared several options, examined many images, and read numerous reviews. The thickness and quality of the stainless steel are excellent. The handle is sturdy and strong, making it a reliable choice. Its compact design is a great advantage for travel. It is easy to use, and the coffee tastes great. Additionally, it cleans easily and offers very good value for the money. and offers very good value for the money.

Perfect Compact Coffee Grinder
This grinder is great for making one or two cups worth of coffee. The coarseness adjustment is easy and reliable and produces perfectly ground coffee for a French Press. The ceramic burrs work very well and do not heat up like metal burrs. The grinder is easily disassembled for cleaning. I'm ordering a second grinder to keep with my camping equipment. I highly recommend this grinder.

A worthy product.
This is a great little grinder. I roast my own beans, grind normally with an electric, and brew with Aeropress. This is for travel.... Light, compact, not used everyday, and easy to clean. Works just as expected. My only less than 5 stars comment is absent guidance on reassembly after cleaning and a washer fell out. Customer support was 5 star in guiding me. Well done Simcoker!

Game Changer. Great for backpacking
This is a game-changer for coffee enthusiasts. Its 304 stainless steel construction ensures durability, while the ceramic burrs deliver consistent grind size for a perfect brew every time. The compact size makes it ideal for travel or small kitchen spaces. The inclusion of a cleaning brush and storage pouch adds convenience to its already impressive features. Whether you're at home or on the go, this grinder delivers exceptional results. Highly recommended for anyone serious about their coffee experience.
