M5Stack Chain ToF VL53L0C Laser Ranging Sensor Node, UART Daisy-Chain, 3~200cm Range, ±3% Accuracy, STM32G031G8U6 MCU, Model U209

The M5Stack Chain ToF (VL53L0, Model U209) is a compact laser ranging sensor node designed for precise short-range distance measurement. Built around the VL53L0C laser ranging module, it delivers reliable non-contact distance detection across a range of approximately 1.2 to 78.7 inches (3 to 200cm) with an accuracy of ±13%. At its core is an STM32G031G8U6 MCU, ensuring efficient processing and stable performance. The device communicates via UART daisy-chain protocol, making it straightforward to integrate into existing systems. Two HY2.0-4P expansion interfaces allow seamless connection with additional M5Stack Chain series devices, enabling you to build more complex and interactive setups. A built-in WS2812C RGB LED provides visual status feedback at a glance. Powered by DC 5V with low power consumption across multiple operating modes, it is well-suited for object proximity detection, robotics, and automation projects. The unit weighs just 0.31 oz (8.8g) and measures roughly 0.94 x 0.94 x 0.63 inches, making it easy to fit into space-constrained designs. Operating temperature range is 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C).
