Distance sensors
Here you will find all sensors for measuring distance. Distances to objects, walls, or even just to metals. The distances can be measured using infrared, ultrasonic sound, induction, and lasers.
All sensors can be used with an Arduino and most other microcontrollers and platforms such as ESP32/ESP8266 and Raspberry Pi.

Distance Sensor / Light Sensor VCNL4010 I2C - Adafruit 466
The VCNL4010 sensor is a nice way to add a small-distance proximity sensor to your microcontroller project. The VCNL4010 is designed for shorter distances, no more than 200mm and under our experimentation we found it worked best at distances of about 10-150mm. It would be good for say detecting when a hand moved nearby, or before a robot smacks in...

Distance Sensor Laser - Time of Flight - VL53L0X
The VL53L0X is a Time of Flight distance sensor like no other you've used! The sensor contains a very tiny invisible laser source, and a matching sensor. The VL53L0X can detect the "time of flight", or how long the light has taken to bounce back to the sensor. Since it uses a very narrow light source, it is good for determining distance of only the...
