Distance sensors
Compare compact I²C time-of-flight breakouts with industrial LiDAR modules without treating range, field of view, voltage or protocol as interchangeable.
Can I swap these?

General board checks (5)
- Check whether the design expects a simple I²C ranging sensor or a wide-field LiDAR/depth module.
- Match supply voltage and power budget. Do not wire a 12 V LiDAR module into a 3.3 V or 5 V breakout footprint.
- Compare field of view, minimum range, maximum range, update rate and output shape before assuming one sensor can replace another.
- Confirm host interface support: I²C library support for VL53L1X, CAN/TCP handling and cabling for CE30-A.
- Check physical size, mounting, enclosure, connector and environmental requirements before buying or swapping.
