Description

The P-NUCLEO-53L0A1 is an evaluation pack

that provides an introduction to the ranging and

gesture detection features of the VL53L0X

sensor, combined with the powerful

STM32F401RE microcontroller.

The VL53L0X is the latest product based on ST’s

ground-breaking technology allowing absolute

distance to be measured independent of target

reflectance. Instead of estimating the distance by

measuring the amount of light reflected back from

the object (which is significantly influenced by

color and surface), the VL53L0X precisely

measures the time the light takes to travel to the

nearest object and reflect back to the sensor

(Time-of-Flight).

The STM32 Nucleo board, NUCLEO-F401RE,

provides an affordable and flexible way for users

to try out new ideas and build prototypes with any

STM32 microcontroller line, choosing from the

various combinations of performance, power

consumption and features.
