VL6180X expansion board
The board allows the user to test the VL6180X functionality, to program it and to help
understanding how to develop an application using VL6180X. It integrates:
• a 4-Digit display to render either the range value in mm or the ambient light value in
Lux.
• a switch to select the value type to be displayed.
• a 2.8V regulator to supply the VL6180X.
• two level shifters to adapt the I/O level to the micro controller main board.
• the necessary connectivity for the application.
It is required to program the NUCLEO-F401RE board in order to control the VL6180X
expansion board. For the NUCLEO-F401RE board, the required software suite is available
on www.st.com,
on the P-NUCLEO-6180X1 page, and is composed of
STSW-LINK008, STSW-LINK7 and the X-CUBE-6180XA1.
The VL6180X expansion board and the NUCLEO-F401RE board are connected through
Arduino compatible connectors CN5, CN6, CN8 and CN9 as shown in Figure 1 and
described in Table 2 and Table 3.
The Arduino connectors on NUCLEO-F401RE board support Arduino Uno Revision 3.
