The BML36M001 breaks out the VL53L1X’s pins to match BMCOM connectors. With the BMCOM, you can directly connect the product to BMduino development boards, such as BM53A367A.
You can use the product with other development boards, such as Arduino UNO, as well.
The BML36M001 provides two ranging modes, long-distance mode and short-distance mode. You can change the modes according to your application.
When to choose long distance or short distance mode?
Long-distance mode allows the longest possible ranging distance of 4 meters to be reached. However, this maximum ranging distance is impacted by ambient light. Short-distance mode is more immune to ambient light, but its maximum ranging distance is typically limited to 1.3 meters.
If you only need to ranging distances within 1.3 meters, selecting the short-distance mode will provide more accurate results.
