VL6180X Range Finder Optical Ranging Sensor

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. A 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.
