Satellite boards based on VL53L0X ranging and gesture detection sensor
Manufactured By:ST Microelectronics
Part Number:53L0-SATEL-I1
The VL53L0X is the latest product based on ST's patented FlightSense™ technology. This is a 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).
Combining an IR emitter and a range sensor, the VL53L0X is easy to integrate and saves OEMs long and costly optical and mechanical design optimizations. The module is designed for low-power operation. Ranging measurements can be automatically performed at user defined intervals. Multiple threshold and interrupt schemes are supported to minimize host operations.
Note: The VL53L0X is delivered with a liner, in order to prevent potential foreign material to penetrate inside the modules holes during assembly process. It must be removed at the latest possible step during final assembly, and anyway before module calibration.
