VL6180X proximity sensor (optical ranging/ ambient light sensor/gesture recognition)
Description：
VL6180 is a time-of-flight ranging sensor. The sensor contains a very small laser source and a matching sensor. VL6180X can detect the "time of flight", unlike most distance sensors that rely on the intensity of reflected light or the angle of reflection to determine the distance, the VL6180 uses an accurate clock to measure the time it takes for light to bounce off the surface. Because it uses a very narrow light source, this is different from ultrasonic sonar. Unlike traditional infrared distance sensors, because there is no linearity problem or "double imaging", the VL6180X has higher accuracy.
The VL6180 module is recommended to handle a distance of 5mm to 100mm. Due to the small size of the sensor module, it is easy to use in any robot or interactive project. You can use it with any 3-5V power supply or logic microcontroller.
Features:
1. The integrated intelligent optical module can be used for proximity sensing, ranging and other functions;
2. Fast and accurate distance measurement. Measure the absolute range from 0 to more than 100mm. Based on the spontaneous beam reflection measurement independent of the object, the measurement range of more than 100 mm can be used under some extremely ideal target reflectivity and environment, but it is not guaranteed;
3. I2C interface for device control and data, two programmable GPIOs.
