This breakout supports easy, solderless connections through SparkFun’s Qwiic system, and includes 0.1" spaced pins for breadboard compatibility. It offers a narrow adjustable field of view (15° to 27°) and a fast read rate of up to 50Hz, ideal for quick and accurate distance sensing. The sensor operates between 2.6V and 3.5V and requires removing the protective sticker before use to ensure accuracy.
