X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board
The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 is an expansion board for the STM32 Nucleo system, also
compatible with Arduino UNO R3 connector layout and designed around ST VL53L0X
ranging and gesture detection sensor, based on ST FlightSense™, Time-of-Flight
technology.
Several ST expansion boards can be superposed through the Arduino connectors, which
allows, for example, to develop VL53L0X applications with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interface.
To allow the user to quickly access the gesture recognition demonstration, the X-NUCLEO-
53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with two VL53L0X satellites.
The key features are:
VL53L0X ranging and gesture detection sensor module;
accurate absolute ranging distance, independent of the reflectance of the target;
a 4-digit display, displaying the distance of a target from the ranging sensor;
two 10-pin connectors;
a cover glass holder;
3 different spacers of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mm height to be fitted below the cover glass in
order to simulate various air gaps.
