X-NUCLEO-53L1A2
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-53L1A2 is an expansion board for STM32 Nucleo development boards designed to evaluate the VL53L1CB Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor. It provides accurate long-distance ranging regardless of target reflectance by measuring the time it takes for photons to travel to an object and back. The kit includes spacers and cover windows to help engineers prototype real-world housing scenarios and multi-object detection applications.
Why Choose This Part
This board features a modular design with two VL53L1 breakout boards that can be disconnected for remote sensing via fly-wires. It includes a comprehensive set of spacers (0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm) and cover windows, allowing designers to calibrate the sensor for specific air-gap requirements in final enclosures.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the board into an STM32 Nucleo-64 or Nucleo-144 via the Arduino UNO R3 connectors. Use the STSW-IMG015 graphical user interface for rapid evaluation or integrate the VL53L1 high-level API into your project using the STM32CubeIDE ecosystem.
