VL6180X Laser Range Finder Module

Description:
The VL6180X module implements a proximity sensor with the time-of-flight (ToF) measurement principle; The VL6180X includes a SPAD detector array that detects the time at which a single photon is transferred from the target to the target and back to the module, calculated in combination with the amplitude. The actual distance, regardless of the reflectivity of the object, this actual distance measurement capacity can also produce simple but reliable one-dimensional gesture control.
The ambient light sensor also has high sensitivity and precision under ultra-low light, wide sensing dynamic range, and ambient light (Lux) corrected output. All components used to support proximity sensors and ambient light sensors are integrated in a packaged optical module. The embedded design can be completed without the need for a mechanical spacer or an additional lens system.
