Fit VCNL4040 proximity sensing into a compact Qwiic Micro assembly. Power and communication signals run through the Qwiic connector, while a separate interrupt pin is exposed for host alerts. The streamlined connection layout supports small touchless-interaction experiments where a digital proximity sensor is preferable to directly reading an analog output.
