X-NUCLEO-53L3A2
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 is an expansion board designed for STM32 Nucleo microcontrollers, featuring the VL53L3CX Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor with multi-target detection. It provides a complete evaluation platform for long-distance ranging and spatial sensing, capable of detecting multiple objects within the field of view simultaneously. The kit includes the main expansion board, two breakout boards, and various spacers and cover windows to simulate real-world integration scenarios.
Why Choose This Part
This board allows for rapid prototyping by providing a direct Arduino UNO R3 interface and is compatible with the entire STM32 Nucleo ecosystem. It includes physical spacers (0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 1mm) and cover windows, enabling engineers to test optical performance and air gap requirements before final mechanical design.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the expansion board onto an STM32 Nucleo-64 or Nucleo-144 development board using the Arduino UNO R3 connectors. Utilize the X-CUBE-TOF1 software expansion package for STM32Cube, which includes drivers and example code for multi-target ranging. Use the included breakout boards for remote mounting if your application requires the sensor to be positioned away from the main MCU board.
