Datasheet

Communicating to the sensor is done over I2C with an API written by ST, so its not too hard to port it to your favorite

microcontroller. We've written a wrapper library for Arduino so you can use it with any of your Arduino-compatible

boards.

Sensing Capablities

The sensor can measure approximately 50mm to 1.2 meter in default mode.

In 'long range' mode you can detect as far as 1.5 to 2 meters on a nice white reflective surface.
