Click Boards Catalog

LightRanger Click is a compact add-on board for range-finding and distance-sensing applications. This board features the VL6180X, a three-in-one (proximity, ambient light, and VCSEL light source) optical module from STMicroelectronics. The VL6180X is based on ST’s patented FlightSense™ technology, which allows absolute distance to be measured independently of target reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected from the object, the VL6180X precisely measures the time the light travels to the nearest object and reflects back to the sensor (Time-of-Flight) up to 10cm. In addition, the distance and signal level can also be used to implement gesture recognition. This Click board™ is suitable for presence (object) detection, distance measurement, industrial ranging, inventory control, and many other applications.

LightRanger Click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.

BarGraph 10-Seg Red (JSB-R102510ZR) is a high-quality 10-segment red color bar graph LED display measuring 25.5x10.10x7.9mm. The segments of this bar graph LED display are bright and uniformly colored, providing a nice and clean visual feedback drawing about 20mA of current. It is suitable for displaying various properties, whether an audio level, current/voltage level, the position of the encoder, or any other property that can be displayed in the form of a bar graph.

NOTE: This bar graph display can also be found in an embedded format in combination with the BarGraph Click board™. For more information about this Click board™, visit the BarGraph Click product page.
