Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the TOF050C, TOF200C, and TOF400C variants?
A: The main difference between the TOF050C, TOF200C, and TOF400C Time of Flight ranging modules lies in their maximum sensing distance range. The TOF050C is suited for shorter-range detection, the TOF200C for mid-range, and the TOF400C for longer-range applications. Select the variant that best matches your project's distance measurement requirements.
Q: What microcontrollers is this ToF ranging module compatible with?
A: This Time of Flight module uses the standard IIC (I²C) communication protocol, making it compatible with a wide range of popular microcontrollers and development boards including Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, and STM32, among others.
Q: Can this ToF module be used outdoors?
A: Yes, the TOF050C/TOF200C/TOF400C ranging modules support an operating temperature range of -20°C to 70°C, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor automation or industrial applications. However, direct exposure to harsh weather conditions should be avoided unless the module is properly enclosed.
Q: Does the module require any external power supply?
A: The module operates on 3V to 5V DC and draws approximately 40mA. It is powered directly via your microcontroller or project board — no separate power supply is required. No batteries are included or needed.
