== Summary ==
M5Stack Time-of-Flight Ranging Unit using the VL53L0X sensor with Grove connector. Measures distance with high precision using laser-based TOF technology.  

== Description ==
The **M5Stack VL53L0X Time-of-Flight Ranging Unit (Grove)** uses a laser emitter and sensor to detect distance to nearby objects.  
It supports configurable sampling periods, timeouts, and optional 2.8V I²C signaling for compatibility with lower voltage systems.  
It can also accept additional elements for I²C address configuration, allowing multiple sensors on the same bus.
