Features of VL53LXX Laser-Ranging Module The VL53L1X sensor module is a laser-ranging sensor based on Time-of-Flight (ToF). The ToF method measures the distance to the object by measuring a wave’s total travel time (between the sensor and the object). With a maximum frequency of 50Hz, the VL53L1X sensor can measure distances up to a range of 4 meters.This low-power module is controlled through the I2C interface.In this module, unlike previous generations of distance measuring modules, IR and optic fil...

Introduction Welcome to the world of environmental sensing! Nowadays, with all the climate changes and pollution concerns, understanding and monitoring our surroundings have become super important. That's why we’re going to talk about the BME680 sensor!The BME680 sensor can measure temperature, humidity, pressure, and even VOCs (volatile organic compounds). It gives us valuable data to improve our quality of life. But knowing how to use it effectively can be very helpful. In this tutorial, we'll cover...

Introduction In the world of microcontrollers, the Micro:bit and Arduino stand out as two popular choices for hobbyists, educators, and professionals alike. Many individuals are seeking insights into the Micro:bit vs. Arduino debate. Both platforms offer unique features and capabilities, but deciding which one is better suited for a particular project can be a daunting task. In this article, we will compare the Micro:bit and Arduino, exploring their strengths, weaknesses, and ideal use c...

Introduction If you are interested in sensors, you are probably familiar with proximity detection sensors. There are various sensors available for proximity detection; each with its own capabilities and limitations. One method is to use the infrared transceivers. These sensors measure the time it takes for an infrared beam to travel back and forth and calculate the distance between the sensor and the target surface.In this tutorial, we’ll introduce the TMD27713 distance detection sensor. Whether you...
