VL6180X-SATEL
Satellite boards based on VL6180X proximity, gesture and ambient
light sensor
Data brief
Features
• Each satellite board integrates:
– VL6180X 3-in-1 module (proximity, gesture
and ambient light sensor)
– 2.8 V output regulator
• Allows basic gesture recognition use case
• True distance measurement independent of
target size and reflectance
• Able to function in multi-module applications
• Divisible board enabling use as mini-PCB
breakout board, easy to integrate in customer
device
• Compatible with X-NUCLEO-6180XA1
expansion board
– Up to three VL6180X satellite boards can
be plugged into the expansion board
through its 2.54 mm connector
• Can be used with STM32 Nucleo boards,
available in the following Nucleo packs:
– P-NUCLEO-6180X1: Nucleo pack based
on full-feature Nucleo board with
STM32F401RE Dynamic Efficiency ARM®
Cortex®-M4 microcontroller
– P-NUCLEO-6180X2: Nucleo pack based
on ultra-low-power Nucleo board with
STM32L053R8 ARM® Cortex®-M0+
microcontroller
Description
The VL6180X satellite boards are hardware add-
ons for the X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 expansion
board.
Up to 3 satellite boards can be connected to the
X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 expansion board, enabling
multi sensors applications.
Satellite board can be used as well for basic
gesture recognition applications.
Thanks to its 2.8 V regulator, the VL6180X
satellite board can be used in any application with
a 3.3 to 10 V supply.
The part supporting the VL6180X module, 2.54
mm connector and output regulator is scored so
that developers can break off the mini PCB for
use in a 2.8 V supply application using flying
leads.
This makes it easier to integrate into development
and evaluation devices due to its small form
factor.
