Description
This sensor is a carrier/breakout board for ST's VL6180X proximity and ambient light sensor, which measures the range to a target object up to20cmaway (or60cm with reduced resolution). The VL6180X uses time-of-flight measurements of infrared pulses for ranging, allowing it to give accurate results independent of the target's color and surface. Distance and ambient light level measurements can be read through a digital IC interface. The board has a 2.8V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, and the 0.1? pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1? perfboards.
