The P-NUCLEO-6180X1 is an evaluation pack that provides an introduction to the proximity, ranging and light sensing capabilities of the VL6180X sensor, combined with the powerful STM32F401RE microcontroller.
The expansion board features the VL6180X, a Proximity sensor, gesture and Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) module. The VL6180X is based on STMicroelectronics FlightSense™, Time-of-Flight technology. It is a board that provides an introduction and evaluation to the proximity, ranging and light sensing capabilities. Basic gesture recognition application can be developed with one or multiple VL6180X modules.
It is compatible with the STM32 Nucleo board family, and with the Arduino UNO R3 connector layout.
The NUCLEO-F401RE is a STM32 Nucleo-64 development board with STM32F401RET6 Microcontroller.

Slider switch controlling ranging measurement, beyond 400mm, and ambient light sensing, up to 100kLux
4-digit display, displaying either the distance of a target from the proximity sensor, or the lux illuminance value from the ambient light sensing (ALS)
Excellent ranging accuracy, independent of the reflectance of the target
