2. Soldering the headers
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your board is ready to be placed into the desired mikroBUS ™ socket. Make sure to align the cut in
the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS ™ socket. If all the pins are aligned correctly, push the board all the way into the socket.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure to align the headers so that they are perpendicular to the board, then solder the pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down so that the bottom side is facing you upwards. Place shorter pins of the header into the appropriate soldering pads.Before using your click board ™, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package.
4. Essential features
The VL6180X sensor consists of an IR emit-ter, ambient light sensor, and range sensor. It calculates distance (up to 10cm with pre-cision, up to 20cm otherwise) by measuring the time it takes for a photon to travel from the sensor to the nearest object and back (Time of Flight). In contrast to conventional IR proximity sensors which derive distance by measuring the amount of light reflected, VL6180X works with all objects, regardless of their color or reflectivity.

LightRanger click is a proximity sensor carr-ying ST’s VL618OX IC . This chip is based on ST’s patented FlightSense ™ technology which is more reliable compared to con-ventional infrared-based proximity sensors. LightRanger click communicates with the target board MCU through mikroBUS ™ I 2C pins (SCL, SDA), with additional interrupt (INT) and enable (EN, in place of default mikroBUS ™ CS pin). The board is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply.
