The LightRanger 10 Click Board™ is a compact add-on board suitable for range-finding and distance sensing applications. This board features the VL53L4CX, a ToF (time of flight) optical distance sensor with an extended target detection range from STMicroelectronics. Specifically designed for long-range and multi-target measurements, the VL53L4CX provides accurate distance measurements up to 6m with excellent results over short distances and 18° FoV (Field of View), improving performances under ambient light. Data processing is performed inside the VL53L4CX, providing distance information and confidence values through its I2C interface. This Click board™ is suitable for presence (object) detection, distance measurement, industrial ranging, inventory control, and many other applications.
The LightRanger 10 Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a thoroughly tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
