X-NUCLEO-53L5A1
Overview
The X-NUCLEO-53L5A1 is an expansion board for STM32 Nucleo development kits featuring the VL53L5CX Time-of-Flight (ToF) multizone ranging sensor. It provides a complete evaluation platform for 3D distance measurement and scene analysis using an 8x8 multizone matrix with a wide field of view. The board includes spacers to adjust the air gap between the sensor and a cover glass to simulate various integrated housing designs.
Why Choose This Part
This expansion board simplifies the integration of sophisticated 3D ToF sensing by providing a plug-and-play solution for the STM32 ecosystem. It supports high-speed multizone ranging up to 64 zones (8x8) and includes an integrated 3.3V regulator to ensure stable power delivery for the VL53L5CX sensor.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To begin development, plug the X-NUCLEO-53L5A1 into an STM32 Nucleo-64 or Nucleo-144 board using the Arduino UNO R3 connectors. Use the X-CUBE-TOF1 expansion software package for STM32CubeIDE, which includes sample code and drivers for multizone ranging. For custom hardware testing, use the included spacers to evaluate the impact of different cover glass offsets on sensor accuracy.
Also Consider
STMicroelectronics
- Suitable if your application requires longer range detection up to 4 meters but only needs single-target or multi-target ranging without 8x8 spatial resolution.
