摘要

The VL53L0X is, according to ST Micro, the world's smallest time-of-flight laser rangefinder (lidar) IC. It comes in a 4.4 x 2.4 x 1.0mm SMD package, operates off 2.6-3.5V and measures distances up to about 2.4m. It is controlled using an I~2C serial interface. Various small breakout boards with this IC are available on websites like AliExpress and eBay, for less than $10.
