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.
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. This sensor also has an ambient light sensor built in it which is excellent if you need a digital light sensor for your next glitter cannon.
