P-NUCLEO-6180X2 Proximity, gesture, ambient light sensor expansion board based on VL6180X for STM32L053R8 Data brief integrate the VL6180X in customers application. Basic gesture recognition application can be developed using the VL6180X sensor on the expansion board and/or up to three sensors on the satellite boards. Description The P-NUCLEO-6180X2 is an evaluation pack that provides an introduction to the proximity, ranging and light sensing capabilities of the VL6180X sensor, combined with the ultra low power STM32L053R8 microcontroller. Features The VL6180X is the latest product based on STs 1x VL6180X (proximity, gesture and ambient TM patented FlightSense technology. This is a light sensing module) expansion board. ground-breaking technology allowing absolute Slider switch controlling 2 functions: distance to be measured independent of target - Ranging measurement. reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by (a) measuring the amount of light reflected back from - Ambient light sensing, up to 100KLux. the object (which is significantly influenced by 4-digit display, displaying either the color and surface), the VL6180X precisely distance of a target from the proximity measures the time the light takes to travel to the sensor or the lux value from the ambient nearest object and reflect back to the sensor light sensing (ALS). (Time-of-Flight). Excellent ranging accuracy, independent of the reflectance of the target. The STM32 Nucleo board, NUCLEO-L053R8, provides an affordable and flexible way for users 1x NUCLEO-L053R8 board to try out new ideas and build prototypes with any Power management access point STM32 microcontroller line, choosing from the Equipped with Arduino UNO R3 connector. various combinations of performance, power consumption and features. RoHS compliant. Full system SW supplied, download from www.st.com/vl6180x in the folder Design resources. 3x VL6180X satellite boards can be connected on the VL6180X expansion board, in order to a. VL6180X detects up to 100KLux but since the display is 4 digits only, maximum displayed value is limited to 9999 Lux June 2015 DocID027625 Rev 3 1/8 For further information contact your local STMicroelectronics sales office. www.st.comOrdering information P-NUCLEO-6180X2 Ordering information Table 1.
