Laser distance breakout from 4 cm to 4 meters. It is suitable for Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, Arduino or Feather.

These low-power-laser-based time of flight sensors have great accuracy and sampling frequency, and this particular sensor has a wide range of detection, from 4cm to 4 meters.

Use it as a proximity sensor, for presence detection, or as a laser tape measure! The speed, accuracy, and range, make this sensor ideal for collision-avoidance on robots.

It's also compatible with our fancy new Breakout Garden the six slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.
