3. Common Questions & Answers (FAQ)
Q1: What is the default communication mode?
A1: The module defaults to UART mode; I²C can be selected via solder pad configuration.
Q2: Can it work with Arduino or STM32?
A2: Yes, it supports TTL UART and I²C, compatible with Arduino, STM32, and other MCUs.
Q3: What does the LED indicator mean?
A3: Solid ON means distance within threshold; blinking indicates out of range or init failure.
Q4: Is this safe for human use?
A4: Yes, it uses an eyesafe infrared laser compliant with safety standards.
Q5: Can it be used for obstacle avoidance?
A5: Yes, it is widely used in robots, drones, and smart devices for distance sensing.
