{"title":"VCNL4030 Proximity and Lux Sensor Breakout - STEMMA QT/Qwiic","handle":"adafruit-vcnl4030-proximity-and-lux-sensor-stemma-qt-qwiic","url":"/products/adafruit-vcnl4030-proximity-and-lux-sensor-stemma-qt-qwiic","description":"This compact breakout combines a Vishay VCNL4030 proximity sensor and ambient light sensor on one board. It can measure proximity from 0 to 300mm (about 12 inches) and light from 0.004 to 16,768 lux, making it a handy option for touchless controls, presence detection and light-aware projects.The sensor gives you a good amount of control over how it behaves. You can adjust settings for the proximity sensor and ambient light sensor, including integration time, dynamic range and sensitivity. For proximity sensing, you can also tune the duty cycle and built-in IR LED current to balance speed, range, precision and power use for your application.To make integration easier, Adafruit has mounted the VCNL4030 on a breakout PCB with support circuitry for both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. It uses I2C, so only a couple of signal wires are needed, and the onboard STEMMA QT / qwiic compatible connectors make solderless hookup simple with the right cable. Libraries are available for CircuitPython/Python and Arduino, so it fits neatly into Feather, Raspberry Pi, Arduino and similar ecosystems.One important note: the VCNL4xxx family includes several similar-looking parts, but their firmware is not identical. This board uses the VCNL4030, so it is not a drop-in software replacement for a VCNL4040 or other VCNL4xxx device without recompiling with the appropriate library. A QT cable is not included.Specifications:Proximity sensor range: 0 to 300mm (about 12 inches)Light sensor range: 0.004 to 16,768 luxLogic level compatibility: 3.3V (Feather/Raspberry Pi) or 5V (Arduino/ Metro328)Interface: I2CConnectors: SparkFun qwiic compatible STEMMA QT connectors for the I2C busProduct Dimensions: 25.5mm x 17.7mm x 4.7mm / 1.0\" x 0.7\" x 0.2\"Product Weight: 1.7g / 0.1oz","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"Proximity and Light Sensor","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":15525,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-6491","mpn":"ADA6491","price":14.2,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0}]}
