UPDATED GUIDE: Adafruit VCNL4030 Proximity and Lux Sensor
The VCNL4030 is a handy two-in-one sensor, with a proximity sensor that works from 0 to 300mm (about 12 inches) and light sensor with range of 0.004 to 16,768 lux.
We’ve all been there. That thing is close but how close? When you need to measure a small distance with reasonable accuracy, such as the rough height of particularly calm bumble bee, the VCNL4030 Proximity Sensor from Vishay can do that for you. If perchance you also needed to measure the amount of light at the same time, perhaps to let the bee to know if it’s time for bed, you’re in luck! The VCNL4030 can do that too (bumble bee not included, we tried putting it in the anti-static bag but it started buzzing in a threatening manner)
A new page has been added for our no-code WipperSnapper firmware, allowing easy sending of data to Adafruit IO.
