I am interested to know the key differences between the VL6180 and VL6180X ToF sensors.
I understand that the VL6180 has no ALS and also it appears to operate over a longer range.
Is it as accurate in the 0-100mm range as the VL6180X?
Thank you

Hi ,
VL6180X has ALS and VL6180 don't have. So basically changes have been done from HW prospective. However , ranging performance is same for both.
I would say ranging would be more accurate from 3cm -10cm and could be extended to 40cm. There may be over ranging value if target lies under 3cm.
