P-NUCLEO-6180A1

P-NUCLEO-6180A1 is a VL6180V1 nucleo pack which includes VL6180V1 expansion board and STM32F401RE nucleo. The X-NUCLEO-6180A1 expansion board allows the user to test the VL6180 functionality and to program it, which helps understand how to develop an application using the VL6180. The VL6180 is based on patented FlightSense™ technology. This is a ground-breaking technology allowing absolute distance to be measured independent of target reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected back from the object (which is significantly influenced by color and surface), the VL6180 precisely measures the time the light takes to travel to the nearest object and reflect back to the sensor (Time-of-Flight). The STM32 Nucleo board, NUCLEO-F401RE, provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new ideas and build prototypes with any STM32 microcontroller line, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features.
