Sparkfun SEN-15177 Sensor module 1 pc(s) Compatible with (development kits): Arduino

The Sparkfun Proximity Sensor Breakout is a simple IR presence and ambient light sensor that uses the VCNL4040. This type of sensor is often seen in automatic towel and soap dispensers or automatic taps. With the ability to detect objects at a distance of up to 20 cm, you will be able to see if something is present and whether it is closer or farther away since the last measurement. By using our convenient Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, if you prefer to use a breadboard, we have broken out 0.1" intermediate pins.
The Sparkfun Proximity Sensor Breakout is a great digital alternative to the popular analogueue sharp sensors. The VCNL4040 has no dead zone and can read up to the front of the sensor. This sensor also has an in-built ambient light sensor, which is perfectly suitable if you need a digital light sensor for your next glitter cannon.
