EVALKIT-VL6180X VL6180X plug-in and STM32 F401RE Nucleo board explorer kit Data brief Equipped with Arduino UNO R3 connector. RoHS compliant. Full system SW supplied, download from www.st.com/vl6180x in the folder Design resources. (b) VL6180X satellite board can be soldered to the plug-in board through flying wires, in order to integrate the VL6180X in customers application. Basic gesture recognition application can be developed using the VL6180X sensor on the plug-in board or a dual sensor application by connecting a VL6180X satellite to the board. Description The EVALKIT-VL6180X is an evaluation kit that provides an introduction to the proximity, ranging Features and light sensing capabilities of the VL6180X 1 Nucleo board with STM32 F401RE sensor, combined with the powerful microcontroller in LQFP64 package STM32 F401RE microcontroller. Flexible board power supply The STM32 Nucleo board provides an affordable USB VBUS or external source (3.3 V, 5 V, and flexible way for users to try out new ideas and 7 - 12 V) build prototypes with any STM32 microcontroller Power management access point line, choosing from the various combinations of performance, power consumption and features. 1 VL6180X (proximity, gesture and ambient The Arduino connectivity support and ST light sensing module) plug-in.
