- The Pololu VL6180X Time-of-Flight Distance Sensor measures distance using the STMicroelectronics VL6180X sensor. To interface this sensor with an Arduino, you can use the I2C communication protocol. Here's an example code to read distance values from the Pololu VL6180X sensor using the Arduino Wire library:
- First, download and install the Pololu VL6180X library from the following link: https://github.com/pololu/vl6180x-arduino
- To use this code:
- Connect the Pololu VL6180X sensor to your Arduino. Connect the sensor's GND pin to the Arduino's GND, the sensor's VIN pin to the Arduino's 3.3V or 5V, the sensor's SDA pin to the Arduino's SDA pin (A4 on Uno), and the sensor's SCL pin to the Arduino's SCL pin (A5 on Uno).
- Upload the code to your Arduino board.
- Open the Serial Monitor to view the measured distance in millimeters.
- The sensor measures distance up to 100 mm with a resolution of 1 mm. The sensor.setScaling() function can be used to set the scaling factor for distance measurements (1 = no scaling). The default scaling factor is 1, but you can change it to improve the sensor's performance for specific applications. Note that increasing the scaling factor will reduce the sensor's maximum range.

- #include <Wire.h>
- #include <VL6180X.h>
- VL6180X sensor;
- void setup() {
- Serial.begin(9600);
- Wire.begin();
- sensor.init();
- sensor.configureDefault();
- sensor.setTimeout(500);
- // Set scaling factor for distance (1 = no scaling, default is 1)
- sensor.setScaling(1);
- }
- void loop() {
- int distance = sensor.readRangeSingleMillimeters();
- if (sensor.timeoutOccurred()) {
- Serial.print(" TIMEOUT");
- } else {
- Serial.print("Distance: ");
- Serial.print(distance);
- Serial.println(" mm");
- }
- delay(500);
