Enhance your robotics and interactive projects with the VL6180X Time-of-Flight (ToF) Ranging Sensor, a compact and precise distance measurement solution. This advanced sensor uses a tiny integrated laser source and a highly sensitive photodetector to measure the "time of flight"—the time taken for emitted laser light to reflect back from an object—resulting in highly accurate distance readings. Unlike traditional distance sensors relying on reflected light intensity or angle, the VL6180X provides reliable and linear measurements free from common issues like dual imaging or nonlinear errors. Key Features: · Accurate Time-of-Flight Measurement: Utilizes precise timing of light flight to deliver consistent distance readings from 5mm up to 100mm with fast response times. · Compact and Versatile Design: Small module size allows easy integration into robots, IoT devices, and interactive systems powered by any 3-5V supply or microcontroller logic. · Intelligent Optical Module: Combines proximity sensing, ranging, and additional sensing functions for versatile application needs. · Wide Distance Range: Accurately measures absolute distance from 0 to 100mm and beyond under optimal reflectance and environmental conditions. · I2C Interface: Supports simple device control and data communication via standard I2C protocol with two programmable GPIO pins for extended functionality. · Low Power Operation: Operates at a supply voltage range of 3-5V, suitable for battery-powered and embedded systems. · Easy Shutdown Control: Integrated SHDN pin allows power saving through sensor shutdown when not in use. Specifications: · Power Supply Voltage (VIN): 3-5V · Output Voltage (2v8): 2.8V regulated output · Communication Interface: I2C (SCL and SDA pins) · Control Pins: GPIO (data ready indicator), SHDN (shutdown control) · Distance Measurement Range: 5mm to 100mm (typical), with potential for longer distances under ideal conditions Package Includes: · 1 x VL6180X Time-of-Flight Ranging Sensor Module The VL6180X is ideal for applications requiring precise distance measurement in tight spaces such as obstacle detection in robotics, gesture recognition, or proximity alert systems. With its accurate ToF technology, compact footprint, and easy I2C integration, this sensor module offers a reliable and efficient solution for developers seeking advanced sensing capabilities without complex hardware adjustments.
