This is the repo for the PiicoDev® Distance Sensor PCB.
The PiicoDev® Distance Sensor is a long-distance laser-ranging sensor that uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) to accurately measure distances up to 4m.
- Small size, millimetre precision
- Can be protected behind many cover-window materials.
- PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
- 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
- Manufactured and supported in Australia by Core Electronics
