That means that you will be able to measure the distance to an object from 1mm to 1300mm away with millimeter resolution!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make it even easier to get your readings, all communication is enacted exclusively via I2C, utilizing the handy Qwiic system so no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, SparkFun still have broken out 0.1”-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach VL53L4CD sensor features a precision to be 1mm with an accuracy around +\/-7mm (white target: 88%, indoor, no infrared) and a minimum read distance of this sensor is 1mm. The field of view for this little breakout has a typical full field of view of 18° with a read rate of up to 100Hz. Make sure to power this board appropriately since it will need 2.6V-3.5V to operate. Lastly, please be sure to remove the protective sticker on the VL53L4CD before use otherwise it will, most assuredly, throw off your readings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laser_safety#Class_1\" target=\"_blank\" data-mce-href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Laser_safety#Class_1\"\u003eCLASS 1\u003c\/a\u003e LASER PRODUCT CLASSIFIED IEC 60825-1 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en-jp\/collections\/qwiic\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSparkFun Qwiic Connect System\u003c\/a\u003e is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error.
