Description M5Stack M5StickC ToF HAT is a compact laser distance sensor module built for quick ranging, compact motion response, and precise short-range measurement on the M5StickC platform. Powered by the VL53L0X ToF sensor, this addon works well as an obstacle detection module, a compact gesture recognition module, and a reliable depth sensor for portable embedded control projects. Features Hat ToF uses a VL53L0X ToF sensor for non-contact ranging. This laser distance sensor module supports fast measurement from 0.3m to 2m. Stable ranging helps the board work as an obstacle detection module in compact robots. Fast optical feedback also suits a small gesture recognition module design. The HAT format keeps the build lightweight for M5StickC projects. Specifications Product M5Stack M5StickC ToF HAT Sensor VL53L0X Category ToF ranging module Measurement Range 0.3m to 2m Accuracy ±3% Laser Type 940nm VCSEL Interface I2C, default address 0x29 Size 24.0 × 20.0 × 13.7 mm Weight 3.8g Applications M5Stack M5StickC ToF HAT fits handheld range testing, small robots, smart interaction prototypes, compact obstacle detection module projects, and embedded gesture experiments. Because the VL53L0X ToF sensor gives fast optical feedback, this laser distance sensor module is practical wherever a portable gesture recognition module or short-range ranging tool is needed. Product List Hat ToF module x1 Sticker x1 Other Content The HAT structure lets the sensor sit directly on top of compatible M5StickC devices, which makes integration cleaner than using a separate external ranging board. It is especially useful when you want distance awareness without adding a bulky sensor assembly.
