2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board , make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 LightRanger click 2 3 4. Essential features The VL6180X sensor consists of an IR emit- ter, ambient light sensor, and range sensor. It calculates distance (up to 10cm with pre- cision, up to 20cm otherwise) by measuring the time it takes for a photon to travel from the sensor to the nearest object and back Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure (Time of Flight). In contrast to conventional the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are IR proximity sensors which derive distance Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the by measuring the amount of light reflected, appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. VL6180X works with all objects, regardless of their color or reflectivity. 1. Introduction LightRanger click is a proximity sensor carr- 3. Plugging the board in ying STs VL618OX IC.
