VL6180 Time-of-Flight ToF Distance Sensor

With this Time-of-Flight sensor you can easily measure a distance using the reflection of light. With the built-in level converter, the module can be used with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers.

Specifications:

• Supply voltage: 3.3-5V DC
• Signal voltage: 3.3-5V
• Chip: VL6180
• Detection distance: 5-100mm (standard), >100mm (at optimal reflection)
• Communication: I2C
  • I2C address: 0x29
• Two 3mm mounting holes
• Dimensions PCB: See Images

Pinout:

• VIN: Supply voltage
• 2v8: 2.8V output voltage (up to 100mA)
• GND: Ground/min
• GPIO: See datasheet for more information
• SHDN: See datasheet for more information
• SCL: I2C clock signal
• SDA: I2C data signal

Package contents:

• 1x VL6180 Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor
• 1x Male header set

See the following page to get started with the module: Adafruit VL6180X Library.

Note: The PCB states that it is a VL6180X sensor, but the module comes with a VL6180. This sensor works the same but lacks the function to measure ambient light.
