VL53L1X LiDAR: Because Crashing is Expensive

Ever wish you had Spidey-Sense for your drone? The VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging sensor is here to (sort of) grant that wish. This little beauty enhances the ST FlightSense™ product family, offering rapid and accurate ranging up to 4 meters. Think of it as the ultimate excuse for NOT blaming that tree you just intimately acquainted your quad with.

Why You Want It

• Precision Ranging: Know exactly how far away that tempting gap is before you commit.
• Fast Refresh Rate: Up to 50Hz means quicker reactions – ideal for those last-second saves.
• Compact & Integrated: Tiny enough to fit on almost any build without adding significant weight.
• FPV Obstacle Avoidance: Add a basic level of obstacle avoidance.

Specifications

• Emitter: 940 nm invisible laser (Class1) - because we're ninjas, not disco dancers.
• SPAD (single photon avalanche diode) receiving array with integrated lens.
• Ranging Distance: Up to 400 cm (because anything further is just showing off).
• Ranging Frequency: Up to 50 Hz - blink and you'll miss it (the measurement, not your quad).
• Typical full field-of-view (FoV): 27 °.
• Working voltage: 3.3-5v - because we're not made of magic smoke.
• Communication interface: I2C - because we're civilised.
• Dimensions: 25x10.7x3.2mm
• Weight: 2.4g - lighter than your excuses.

In Box
