About the Module
Module is an open source PCB design by valerionew, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 76 × 70.3 mm, with 9 components from 5 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the WS2812S. By type, the board carries 4 resistors, 2 connectors, 2 capacitors and 1 IC.
It belongs with the sensors designs in this gallery.
From the project
53xLIDAR is a solid state, 16 points lidar, based on ST's VL53L1x sensors
The sensors are operated by an STM32F411RE on two separate I2C buses, one for sensor 1-8, the other for 9-16. The XSHUTs are shared between two sensors on the two different I2C buses, while the sensors interrupts are separate for each sensor. For future use, there is an LSM9DS1, 9 DOF inertial sensor onboard.
The lidar outputs the data via a virtual com port from the native Micro-USB, or via a 3.3V UART on a 4 pin JST-PH connector. Power (5V 100mA) is provided through the USB or via the 4 pin uart connector.

Module: common questions
How big is the Module?
The Module measures 76 × 70.3 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Module?
9 components, from 5 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Module design files?
From the valerionew/53xLIDAR repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Module design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with valerionew. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
