General Description
The evaluation kit for the epc611 chip is a tool to learn about the
functionality and performance of the epc611 chip. It consists of two
implementations of the chip into typical modules:
■ TOF>range 611: A range finder, where the 64 pixels are com-
bined into one cluster pixel. This range finder operates up to 15
meters and allows a measurement accuracy in the cm range.
■ TOF>frame611: A tiny imager with 8x8 pixels and an operating
range of two meters. This device allows e.g. people counting,
simple gesture recognition, etc.
Both modules operate also under full sunlight condition on the tar-
get, to demonstrate the outdoor capabilities.
This document presents an overview of the operation and function-
ality of the epc611 Evaluation Kit. It also contains the schematic di-
agrams which can be used as reference designs. In addition to that
the complete firmware of the two modules comes in C source code,
to support the implementation of your own modules.
