X-NUCLEO-53L0A1
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 is an expansion board designed for STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers to evaluate the VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor. It provides accurate absolute distance measurements up to 2 meters regardless of target reflectance by measuring the time light takes to travel to the object and back. The kit includes the main expansion board with a 4-digit display and two satellite boards for multi-sensor prototyping.
Why Choose This Part
The board features a modular design with two additional satellite boards and included spacers to simulate various cover glass air gaps. Its integration with the Arduino UNO R3 connector ensures compatibility with the broad STM32 Nucleo ecosystem and simplified software development through the X-CUBE-53L0A1 expansion pack.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the expansion board into a compatible STM32 Nucleo-64 or Nucleo-144 board using the Arduino UNO R3 headers. Developers should use the STM32Cube ecosystem with the X-CUBE-53L0A1 software package, which includes drivers and example code for ranging and gesture applications. The onboard 4-digit display provides immediate visual feedback for distance measurements during initial testing.
