Based on the VL53L1X laser range sensor, we have recently modified the housing into a small square structure. The driver has also been optimized. For the human body counting can be used as a side function, it is based on the person from the left side of the sensor into the right side or the right side into the left side to count, as this application, installed in the top of the door is more effective. And its core function is the distance measurement itself, this sensor of ST is able to act in many different lightings, and can measure the distance around 2m very accurately (despite the claim that it can be up to 4m, around 2m is the best case scenario in our tests, as the lightings and other factors may affect the long distances). ..
What can it be used for? Probably in front of a sink, or a toilet, or a computer, for example, where you want some special function to be triggered precisely at a certain distance.
We hope to have it stocked with small quantities of DIY materials soon, and expect it to sell for around $24, with a discount given at the time of release. Feel free to join us in our adventure together to explore the possibilities of TOF sensors.
