Questions
How big is the VL6180 DRSensor PCB?
It measures 18 × 19 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the VL6180 DRSensor use?
21 parts, built around the VL6180V1NR/1, A1251WR-S-4P, CL21A106KAYNNNE and A1251WR-S-2P. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the VL6180 DRSensor KiCad files?
From the BR-Kacha/ToF_Distance-Ranging-Sensor-PCB repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is VL6180_DRSensor/VL6180_DRSensor.kicad_pcb and its schematic VL6180_DRSensor/VL6180_DRSensor.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the VL6180 DRSensor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask BR-Kacha before reusing the design.
