Grove - Time of Flight Distance Sensor-VL53L0X is a high speed, high accuracy and long range distance sensor based on VL53L0X. The VL53L0X is a new generation Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser-ranging module and it is one of the smallest on the market today. It provides accurate distance measurement independent of the target reflectances, making it superior to other conventional technologies. It can measure absolute distances up to 2 m, raising the standards in ranging performance levels and allowing various new applications. The VL53L0X integrates a leading-edge SPAD array (Single Photon Avalanche Diodes) and embeds ST’s second generation Flight SenseTM patented technology. The VL53L0X’s 940 nm VCSEL emitter (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser), is totally invisible to the human eye, coupled with internal physical infrared filters, it enables longer ranging distances, higher immunity to ambient light, and better robustness to cover glass optical crosstalk.

This ultrasonic distance sensor (ME007-ULA V1) offers high performance with a robust, waterproof probe. Operating on the principle of ultrasonic echo ranging, the sensor determines the distance to a target by measuring the time elapsed between sending a pulse and receiving the echo. Its non-contact design allows it to detect a wide range of materials, including transparent or non-ferrous objects, metals, non-metals, liquids, solids, and powders.

Maker Line is a line sensor with 5 x IR sensors array that is able to track line from 13 mm to 30 mm width.
The sensor calibration is also simplified. There is no need to adjust the potentiometer for each IR sensor. You just have to press the calibrate button for 2 seconds to enter calibration mode. Afterwards you need to sweep the sensors array across the line, press the button again and you are good to go.
The calibration data is saved in EEPROM and it will stay intact even if the sensor has been powered off. Thus, calibration only needs to be carried out once unless the sensor height, line color or background color has changed.
Maker Line also supports dual outputs: 5 x digital outputs for the state of each sensor independently, which is similar to conventional IR sensor, but you get the benefit of easy calibration, and also one analog output, where its voltage represents the line position. Analog output also offers higher resolution compared to individual digital outputs. This is especially useful when high accuracy is required while building a line following robot with PID control.
Features
Operating Voltage: DC 3.3 V and 5 V compatible (with reverse polarity protection)
Recommended Line Width: 13 mm to 30 mm
Selectable line color (light or dark)
Sensing Distance (Height): 4 mm to 40 mm (Vcc = 5 V, Black line on white surface)
Sensor Refresh Rate: 200 Hz
Easy calibration process
Dual Output Types: 5 x digital outputs represent each IR sensor state, 1 x analog output represents line position.
Support wide range of controllers such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc.
