10 experiments with VL53L0X ($1 laser-ranging module for Arduino)

I decided to do various experiments with the inexpensive VL53L0X laser distance meter, which uses the speed of light to determine distance. Some of the results of the experiments were unexpected. Links to VL53L0X https://nanoslavic.com/?infopage=p003 I used this code https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_... 00:00 - About the VL53L0X sensor 01:18 - About the driver source code 01:42 - Determining the maximum range 02:46 - Laser beam width VL53L0X 03:20 - Distance to the paper surface 03:57 - Distance to wooden surface 04:14 - Distance to the black surface 04:45 - Distance to transparent object 06:20 - Distance to mirror 07:00 - Optical fiber length 08:08 - Distance to the water surface 08:58 - Distance to the object underwater #arduino #VL53L0X #STM32 #DIYElectronics #ElectronicsForBeginners
