Adafruit TMF8801 Time of Flight Distance Sensor - 20mm to 2.5m

The Adafruit TMF8801 Time of Flight Sensor is a precise distance sensor from ams Osram, capable of measuring distances from 20mm to 2.5 meters with a 33 Hz update rate. It uses a tiny invisible laser source and a matching sensor to detect the "time of flight" of light, providing accurate distance measurements without the linearity issues of IR sensors or the wide sensing cone of ultrasonic sensors.
