The Adafruit VCNL4030 Proximity and Lux Sensor is a compact, dual-function module designed to measure both distance and ambient light with ease. It offers proximity detection from 0 to 300mm and light sensing from 0.004 to 16,768 lux, making it suitable for precise sensing tasks. With adjustable configuration options like integration time, sensitivity, and LED current, users can balance speed, accuracy, and power consumption. The sensor communicates over I2C, simplifying connections with microcontrollers using minimal wiring.

Built with STEMMA QT and Qwiic connectors, it enables solderless integration for quick prototyping. Compatible with both 3.3V and 5V systems, this breakout board is ideal for developers working with platforms like Arduino or Raspberry Pi, providing flexibility and reliable performance in a compact design.

Setup Guide

1
Identify the pins
Locate VCC (power), GND (ground), and data pins (SDA/SCL for I2C, MOSI/MISO for SPI, or TX/RX for UART). Refer to the pinout diagram on the product page.
2
Wire to your microcontroller
Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V (check the module spec), GND to GND, and data pins to the appropriate GPIO pins on your Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
3
Install libraries
In Arduino IDE, go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries and search for the sensor library. Install the recommended version.
4
Upload example sketch
Open File → Examples → [library name] → Basic Example. Upload to your board and open Serial Monitor to view output.
5
Calibrate if needed
Some sensors (temperature, humidity, distance) may need a short warm-up period or calibration. Run the calibration sketch if provided.
