The expansion board is delivered with a cover glass holder in which you can fit three different spacers of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mm height below the cover glass to simulate various air gaps. A small oval cover glass fitting the sensor is included. Several ST expansion boards can be stacked through the Arduino connectors, which allow, for example, the development of VL53L7CX applications with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interfaces.
Getting started Getting started Safety considerations 1.1.1 Electrostatic precautions Warning: Take electrostatic precautions, including ground straps, when using the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board. Failure to prevent electrostatic discharge could damage the device. Figure 2. Electrostatic logo 1.1.2 Laser safety considerations VL53L7CX contains a laser emitter and the corresponding drive circuitry.
Maximum laser power emitted: 130 mW • Integration time: 2 ms minimum Spacers and covers X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board is delivered with: • three spacers of 0.25 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1 mm height, used to simulate different air gaps between the VL53L7CX and the rectangular-shaped cover glass;...
UM3067 Using the expansion board Using the expansion board X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board allows the user to test the VL53L7CX sensor functionality, to program it and to understand how to develop an application using this sensor. X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 integrates: • VL53L7CX sensor;...
X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 through the two 9-pin headers (see Figure 6. SATEL-VL53L7CX breakout boards connected to the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board). As an alternative, they can be connected to the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 by using the mini PCB through flying wires...
UM3067 Graphical user interface (GUI) and programming example for the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 Graphical user interface (GUI) and programming example for the X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 To evaluate the VL53L7CX device performance, use the related GUI. X-NUCLEO-53L7A1 expansion board requires the NUCLEO-F401RE development board to use the GUI.
