The 7Semi VL6180X ToF Proximity Sensor Nano Breakout Qwiic is a compact distance sensing module based on STMicroelectronics' VL6180X FlightSense™ technology. Unlike conventional infrared proximity sensors that estimate distance using reflected light intensity, the VL6180X directly measures the time-of-flight of infrared light to provide accurate and reliable distance measurements. Designed for short-range sensing applications, the module measures absolute distances up to 10cm and delivers stable readings regardless of target color, texture, or reflectivity. The integrated ambient light sensor enables simultaneous light level monitoring, making the module suitable for smart devices, robotics, industrial automation, and interactive electronics.
Pinouts
With a Qwiic-compatible connector and standard I²C interface, integration is quick and straightforward with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi, RP2040, and other embedded platforms. Its compact Nano Breakout design makes it ideal for space-constrained projects requiring precise proximity detection and gesture sensing.
