  • Two white LEDs on-board for illumination
  • Frame rate: 242 FPS (frames per second)
  • Range: 15-35mm
  • Field of view: 42°
  • Maximum speed: 1.14 metres per second (with sensor 25mm away from the surface)
  • 6mA typical current draw
  • SPI interface
  • 3.3V or 5V compatible
  • Reverse polarity protection
