Hello every one, I`m noob in electronics and I`m struggle with this issue form a while but I need some help at this point so I guess I will
post one or two more questions soon.
I work on project which require ultra small and cheap and low energy consuming, between 1-cm to 60cm distance sensor.
Ultrasonic hawe to wide beam on the other hand single ultrasonic transducer have to much dead zone and IR consume a lot of energy - project relay on battery.
As far I found best solution - time of light pololu based on VL6180X :

Tiny, low energy consuming, right range, no dead zone, great.
The only issueI have with it, is very pointy and narrow beam size. I need beam size about 10-15 degrees. Is it possible to increase
beam size in this kind of sensor by using some lenses or any other method ?
