Arduino Modulino® Distance

Arduino Modulino^® Distance is a compact, plug-and-play module designed for precise proximity sensing using the VL53L4CD time-of-flight (ToF) sensor. Capable of measuring distances up to 1200mm with millimeter-level accuracy, the module is ideal for applications like obstacle detection, gesture control, and smart automation. With Qwiic and 5-pin connectors, the Modulino Distance integrates seamlessly into Arduino and third-party ecosystems, enabling quick deployment in robotics, interactive installations, and IoT systems. A small form factor and low power consumption make the module a practical choice for both prototyping and embedded designs.
