## Description

The **PiicoDev® Distance Sensor** is a long-distance laser-ranging sensor that uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) to accurately measure distances up to 4m. Once you have this sensor dialled-in you can measure distances accurately down to the millimeter. These sensors work best indoors.

- Small size, millimetre precision
- Can be protected behind many cover-window materials.
- PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only)
- 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping
- Manufactured and [supported](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) in Australia by Core Electronics
