8x8 Matrix ToF 3D Distance Sensor (I2C&UART, 3.5m Range, 60° FOV)

The 8x8 64-Pixel Matrix Time-of-Flight (ToF) Sensor offers a compact and efficient solution for 3D depth sensing. It serves as a bridge between basic distance sensors and complex depth cameras, featuring an 8x8 matrix of 64 points to deliver real-time depth data within a 60° field of view. This is made possible by onboard firmware powered by an RP2040 microcontroller, providing a detection range of up to 3.5 meters.

Featuring low power consumption and easy plug-and-play compatibility, this sensor excels in various applications such as robotics, interactive art, gesture recognition, and smart automation. It's compatible with multiple platforms, including Arduino, micro:bit, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and LattePanda, allowing for the development of advanced projects. Whether it’s for intelligent obstacle avoidance in robots, contactless gesture control, or immersive interactive installations, this sensor delivers precision and reliability.

Beyond being just a plug-and-play device, the 64-Pixel Matrix ToF Sensor offers expandability as a development platform. Its RP2040 processor allows for loading custom firmware and running lightweight machine learning models. This enables developers to recognize gestures, detect movement patterns, or add new functionalities directly on the sensor, creating opportunities for advanced robotics, IoT, and AI-driven applications.

Built to support maker projects, this sensor features compatibility with popular programming platforms like Arduino IDE, Mind+, and MakeCode. It supports multiple connection options, including Gravity-I2C, UART, and USB-C. With the ability to cascade up to four sensors using switchable I2C addresses, it provides a vast field of view for more comprehensive projects. The open-source schematics and extensive documentation ensure that developers can tailor the module for specific needs, going beyond its basic sensing capabilities.
