X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 ranging and gesture detection sensor
expansion board based on VL53L0X for STM32 Nucleo
Introduction
This document provides detailed hardware information on X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion
board.
The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is compatible with STM32 Nucleo family and
Arduino™ electronic boards.
This product is part of STMicroelectronics offering of expansion boards designed around the
VL53L0X ranging and gesture recognition sensor, based on ST patented FlightSense™
technology.
To allow the user to validate the VL53L0X in an environment as close as possible to its final
application, the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with a holder in which 3
different height spacers of 0.25, 0.5 and 1mm, used to simulate the air gap, can be fitted,
with the cover glass above the spacer.
To allow the user to quickly access the gesture recognition demonstration, the
X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with two VL53L0X satellites.
Demonstration software, available on
www.st.com/VL53L0X,
is included in the
X-CUBE-53L0A1.
