Specification Brand : SparkFun BulletPoint1 : The SparkFun Proximity Sensor Breakout is a simple IR presence and ambient light sensor utilizing the VCNL4040. BulletPoint2 : This type of sensor is often seen in automatic towel and soap dispensers or automatic faucets. With the ability to detect objects qualitatively up to 20cm away, you will be able to detect if something is there and if it is closer or further away since the last reading. BulletPoint3 : The SparkFun Proximity Sensor Features: Qualitative Detection Range: 20cm. Integrated Modules: Infrared Emitter (IRED), Ambient Light Sensor (ALS), Proximity Sensor (PS) Operates ALS and PS in Parallel Structure. No Dead Zone. Operating Voltage: 3.3V. I2C Address: 0x60. 2x Qwiic Connectors. BulletPoint4 : The SparkFun Proximity Sensor Breakout is a great digital alternative to the popular analog based Sharp sensors. The VCNL4040 has no dead zone and can read all the way up to the face of the sensor. BulletPoint5 : This sensor also has an ambient light sensor built it which is excellent if you need a digital light sensor for your next glitter cannon. If you need quantitative distance readings (for example sensing that an object is 177mm away) check out the SparkFun 2 meter and 4 meter Time of Flight (ToF) sensors with mm accuracy.

Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

Note: The I2C address of the VCNL4040 is 0x60 and is hardware defined. A multiplexer/Mux is required to communicate to multiple VCNL4040 sensors on a single bus. If you need to use more than one VCNL4040 sensor consider using the Qwiic Mux Breakout.
