The Fermion VL6180X breakout module integrates STMicroelectronics’ patented FlightSense™ technology, which measures the time-of-flight of a reflected 940nm infrared light pulse to determine distance. This method provides high accuracy independent of the target’s color or reflectance, making it superior to traditional IR proximity sensors. The module includes signal conditioning and level shifting for easy integration with 3.3V or 5V microcontroller systems.
In addition to precise ranging, the sensor features an on-chip ambient light sensor (ALS) capable of measuring light intensity in lux. The compact breakout board provides a convenient 0.1″ pitch header for I2C communication and power, simplifying prototyping and integration into robotics, automation, and IoT projects requiring reliable short-range object detection.
