Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor Carrier with Voltage Regulator

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 20 cm away (or 60 cm 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 I²C interface. The board has a 2.8 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters that allow it to work over an input voltage range of 2.7 V to 5.5 V, and the 0.1″ pin spacing makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.

Quick Spec

• Interface: I²C
• Resolution: 1 mm (Datasheet specifies 10 cm maximum; ranging beyond 10 cm depends on configuration, target, and environment. Resolution must be reduced to measure beyond 20 cm)
• Maximum range: 60 cm (Datasheet specifies 10 cm maximum; ranging beyond 10 cm depends on configuration, target, and environment. Resolution must be reduced to measure beyond 20 cm)
• Interface: I2C
• Minimum operating voltage: 2.7 V
• Maximum operating voltage: 5.5 V
• Supply current: 5 mA (Typical average current draw; varies with configuration, target, and environment)
