GY-6180 VL6180X optical sensor ranging gesture recognition

Features:

2.8V regulator - provides the required 2.8V for the sensor

I2C level shifter - provides logic level conversion from 2.8V to VCC

3-in-1 module / IR transmitter / distance sensor / ambient light sensor

Measures distance up to 10 cm

Gesture recognition

I2C interface

Two programmable GPIOs

Clear sensor board layout

Pin description:

VIN This is the main 2.7 V to 5.5 V power connection. The SCL and SDA level shifters pull the I2C lines high to this level. GND Ground (0 V) connection for the power supply. Your I2C control source must also share a common ground with this board.

SDA/SDI/SDO level shifted I2C data lines: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V

SCL/SPC level shifted I2C clock lines: HIGH is VIN, LOW is 0 V

GPIO0/CE This pin is configured as the chip enable input when the VL6180X is powered on. The board pulls it up to VDD by default to enable the sensor. Driving this pin low puts the sensor into hardware standby. After the VL6180X is powered up, this pin can be reconfigured as a programmable interrupt output (VDD logic level). This input/output is not level shifted.

GPIO1 programmable interrupt output (VDD logic level). The VL6180X also drives this pin low when in hardware standby. This output is not level shifted.

Package Includes:

1 X VL6180X Module
