Product overview
Description
The VL6180X satellite boards are hardware add-ons for the X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 expansion board. Up to 3 satellite boards can be connected to the X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 expansion board, enabling multi sensors applications.Satellite board can be used as well for basic gesture recognition applications.Thanks to its 2.8 V regulator, the VL6180X satellite board can be used in any application with a 3.3 to 10 V supply.The part supporting the VL6180X module, 2.54 mm connector and output regulator is scored so that developers can break off the mini PCB for use in a 2.8 V supply application using flying leads. This makes it easier to integrate into development and evaluation devices due to its small form factor.
