Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor Demonstration
This is a demonstration of the VL53L0X time-of-flight distance sensor. As I move my hand to and from the sensor, you can see the distance on the display.
During our "Robot Days" event kids just loved this demonstration! They love to make different shapes on the display by changing their hand position. The display is very responsive!
To create this project, I used a Cytron Maker Pi RP2040 with NeoPixel LEDs, a speaker, and an OLED display.
I will also create a future demo using the Raspberry Pi Pico to reduce project costs. The code will be very similar, but the connections might change a bit.
The code is available on the MicroPython for Kids GitHub repository:
