Overview

The STEVAL-PDETECT1 is a multi-sensor expansion board designed for advanced human presence detection and environmental sensing. It integrates the VL53L8CX 3D Time-of-Flight sensor, the STHS34PF80 infrared sensor, and the VD6283TX ambient light sensor to provide a comprehensive perception suite for the STWIN.box development platform.

Why Choose This Part

This board offers synchronized timestamping across multiple sensor modalities, ensuring data alignment for complex sensor fusion algorithms. The inclusion of hardware-based Machine Learning Cores allows for ultra-low power wake-up-on-event functionality, significantly extending battery life in wireless monitoring nodes.

Applications

Intelligent Presence Detection
Combining thermal IR and 3D ToF data to distinguish between humans and pets or static objects in smart building systems.
Gesture Recognition
Utilizing the VL53L8CX 64-zone multizone ranging sensor for hands-free control of industrial interfaces.
Adaptive Lighting Control
Using the VD6283TX color and light sensor to adjust display brightness or room lighting based on accurate CCT and flicker detection.
Edge AI Human Tracking
Leveraging the Machine Learning Core (MLC) and ISPU for local processing of sensor data to track movement patterns without cloud latency.

Getting Started

The STEVAL-PDETECT1 is designed as an add-on for the STEVAL-STWINBX1 (STWIN.box) development kit. Engineers should use the FP-SNS-DATALOG2 function pack and STMicroelectronics' Unicleo-GUI to visualize sensor outputs and configure the MLC/ISPU parameters.
