VL53L0X Sensors

A common VL53L0X module. Title image

AutoLight supports the VL53L0X Optical Time-of-Flight sensor for distance measurements.

The VL53L0X datasheet is available here.

Sensors are wired using i2c and each individual XSHUT or SHDN pin is connected to one of the Pi's GPIO pins. All sensors must be on the Pi's main bus and share the bus with the PCA9685. If this is not ideal for your use case, check out Sensors controlled by GPIO.
