ToF Range Finder Sensor Breakout Board w/ Voltage Regulator – VL6180

• Measures distance with 1 mm resolution over a detection range of 0 cm to 10 cm
• Distance and ambient light level measurements can be read through a digital I²C interface
• 2.8 V linear regulator and integrated level-shifters

The VToF Range Finder Sensor Breakout Board w/ Voltage Regulator – VL6180 is a sensor that combines proximity ranging and ambient light level measurement capabilities into a single package.  The VL6180X uses time-of-flight measurements of infrared pulses to determine the range to a target object, 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.
