Youmile 2 PCS VL6180 VL6180X Ranging Sensor, Optical Distance Measuring Sensor Module Gesture Recognition Sensor Ambient Light Sensor for I2C Interface DC 3-5V
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" or the time required for the laser recovery sensor to calculate the distance. 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 reflect from the surface because it uses a very narrow light source, which is different from ultrasound. Sonar is different from traditional infrared distance sensors. You will not be unable to determine whether an object is close because there is no linearity problem or "double imaging". Therefore, VL6180X is more accurate Feature: 1. The integrated smart optical module can be used for proximity sensing, ranging and other functions. 2. Fast and accurate distance measurement. The absolute range of measurement is 0 to 100 mm or more. Based on the self-luminous beam reflection measurement that has nothing to do with the object, the measurement of more than 100 mm can be used in some very ideal target reflectivity and environment, but it cannot be guaranteed; 3. I2C interface for device control and data, two programmable GPIOs. 4. Working voltage: DC 3-5V. The module also has a DC 2.8V interface. Package includes: 2 x VL6180 VL6180X ranging light sensor module 15 x male-female Dupont line.
Product Features
- The VL6180X uses a very narrow light source that is different from conventional infrared distance sensors. The ranking is more accurate. It is recommended to use the VL6180 module for distances from 5mm to 100mm.
- Fast and accurate distance measurement. The absolute measuring range is 0 ~ 100 mm or even further.
- Based on the self-luminous beam reflection measurement, which has nothing to do with the object, the measurement of more than 100 mm can be used in a very ideal target reflection and environment, and the specific range cannot be determined.
- I2C interface for device control and data, two programmable GPIOs. Ranging and other functions.
- The sensor module is small and can be easily used in any robot or interactive project.
