Product Description<\/b><\/h4>\n

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 to\u00a020\u00a0cm\u00a0away (or\u00a060\u00a0cm 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 I\u00b2C interface. The board has a 2.8\u00a0V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.7\u00a0V to 5.5\u00a0V, and the 0.1\u2033 pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1\u2033 perfboards.<\/p>\n
