Adafruit VCNL4200 Long Distance IR Proximity and Light Sensor

The Adafruit VCNL4200 Long Distance IR Proximity and Light Sensor is a versatile sensor that combines proximity and ambient light sensing in one compact package. It has a proximity detection range of up to 1.5 meters and can measure ambient light from 0.003 to 1570 lux. With I2C communication, it’s easy to integrate into projects, and the sensor features adjustable settings for both light and proximity measurements. The built-in STEMMA QT connectors allow for solder-free connections, making it ideal for use with microcontrollers like Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Perfect for motion detection, robotics, and light sensing applications.

Features:

1. Dual Functionality: Combines both proximity sensing (up to 1.5 meters) and ambient light sensing (0.003 to 1570 lux).
2. I2C Interface: Easy to connect and use with microcontrollers like Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
3. Long Proximity Range: Detects objects up to 1.5 meters with intelligent background light cancellation and red glow immunity.
4. Adjustable Sensitivity: Configurable integration time, IR LED power, and duty cycle for both proximity and light sensing.
5. Light Sensor: Provides accurate light measurement with selectable maximum detection range (197, 393, 786, 1573 lux).
6. Interrupt Function: Programmable interrupts for proximity and light measurements with customizable thresholds.
