The sensor contains a very tiny laser source, and a matching sensor. The VL6180X can detect the "time of flight", or how long the laser light has taken to bounce back to the sensor. Since it uses a very narrow light source, it is good for determining distance of only the surface directly in front of it. Unlike sonars that bounce ultrasonic waves, the 'cone' of sensing is very narrow. Unlike IR distance sensors that try to measure the amount of light bounced, the VL6180X is much more precise and doesn't have linearity problems or 'double imaging' where you can't tell if an object is very far or very close. The sensor is small and easy to use in any robotics or interactive project. Since it needs 2.8V power and logic we put the little fellow on a breakout board with a regulator and level shifting. You can use it with any 3-5V power or logic microcontroller with no worries. Each order comes with a small piece of header. Solder the header onto your breakout board with your iron and some solder and wire it up for instant distance-sensing-success! Communicating to the sensor is done over I2C with some simple commands. Most of the work is handled inside the sensor itself, so its very easy to port our Arduino library to another microcontroller. This sensor measure well at 1CM to 10CM, and capable up to 20CM (ranging beyond 10cm is dependent on conditions) 【Product Parameter】 Infrared laser wavelength: 850nm Communication interface: IIC (400kHz), address 0x29 (7-bit), two programmable GPIO Optimal working temperature: -10 ~ 60 ° C Range (close) range: 0 ~ 100mm error 13mm Under certain external environmental conditions, such as in dark environments, it can exceed 100mm Temperature drift: 9 ~ 15mm Voltage drift: 3 ~ 5mm Conversion time: 15ms Ambient light range: 1~100kLux 16-bit output Ambient light gain range: 1 to 40 (eight) Ambient light sensitivity: 0.36Lux/count (535nm LED @ 1 kLux.
