About this part

A VL6180X-based sensor module that combines short-range time-of-flight distance sensing with an ambient light sensor. It's for proximity detection, simple gesture projects and light-level readings, and it runs on either 3.3V or 5V, so it works with boards at either logic level.

  • Sensing: time-of-flight proximity, plus ambient light up to 100 kLux
  • Interface: I2C (SDA and SCL), plus a GPIO0 digital output
  • Supply: 3.3V or 5V
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +85°C
  • Gestures: basic gesture recognition can be built with one or more modules

Ranging accuracy doesn't depend on how reflective the target is, which helps when the objects you detect vary in colour.

P roduct feature : For the convenience of customers! The input voltage of this module is 3.3V / 5V, which is more convenient for development and use! VL6180X proximity, gesture and ambient light sensing (ALS) module. Slider switch controlling 2 functions: Ranging measurement, beyond 400mm. Ambient light sensing, up to 100 kLux1. 4-digit display, displaying either the distance of a target from the proximity sensor, or the lux value from the ambient light sensing (ALS). Excellent ranging accuracy, independent of the reflectance of the target. Basic gesture recognition application can be developed with one or multiple VL6180X modules. Compatible with STM32 Nucleo board family. Equipped with ArduinoTMUNO R3 connector. RoHS compliant. After many experiments, we have a complete routine! Wiring description: 1. The digital output of GPIO0 is 10 pins; 2.SDA pin of SDA connector development board; 3.SCL pin of SCL joint development board; 4. Power supply can be connected to 3.3V or 5V. Instructions for module use: 1. Download the provided routine code to the WAVGAT development board; 2. Connect the VL6180 module with the development board according to the wiring instructions; 3. Open the serial port monitoring window of Arduino IDE; 4. When the sensor is not covered in front, the serial port monitoring window displays 255; 5. When there is occlusion, the distance is shown as measured distance and the unit is mm.

Shipping & returns

Delivery
Ships from suppliers outside Canada. Estimated delivery: 7–18 days to Canadian addresses. Estimates aren't guaranteed. Tracking is shared when available.Shipping policy
Shipping cost and tax
This item is eligible for free shipping: eligible items in your cart ship free once they total $20 or more. Carts of many low-priced parts need more than $20, and the cart shows how much. Under that, shipping is estimated at $3.13 from a supplier quote and quoted live for your Canadian address at checkout. Sales tax is added there too, so you see the full total before you pay.
Returns
Unopened, unused items in resalable condition can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Some items are excluded.Refund policy
