Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 INTRODUCTION This user guide describes the different KEMET Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits for SMD mid IR gesture and motion sensors. This document covers all the 4 variants of the kits: mid- range and long-range gesture and mid-range and long-range motion. GETTING STARTED USEQMSKS221600 USEQMSK1220900...
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 INSTALLATION 3.1 Installing the KEMET Gesture & Motion Sensing Evaluation Tool Software From the software pack available to download here, run the setup.exe file that has this icon. This will start the installation process. Figure 2 –...
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 Connecting the SMD Gesture and Motion Sensing Evaluation Kit Connect the USB cable to the kit and Windows PC. You may see a message suggesting you are required to install a device driver. Follow the on screen instructions and download a driver from Windows Update or install from the software package provided.
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 Figure 3 – Com Port Selection Connect to the port that is listed once the device is connected. If more than one COM port is listed this can be checked by disconnecting the device and refreshing the list. Re-connect and refresh the list then select the COM port that has appeared and click Ok.
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 Navigating the Menus The main window contains 4 sections: Algorithm, ASIC Control, Wake-Up and System. 4.4.1 Algorithm Tab • The window showing current detection mode (the button for the active mode, gesture or presence is highlighted in blue). When an event occurs, the detected event will be shown with a direction icon.

Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 The ASIC box gives the user access to the various parameters that can be controlled on the output of the SMD USEQ*S sensor. • Gain: The gains should all be set equal on every channel for gesture detection. They are allowed to be set independently simply to allow the user complete control over every aspect of the device that can be set.
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 4.4.4 System Tab The System box allows the user to set the orientation of the device to ensure directions of gesture are correctly displayed. GESTURE DETECTION MODE General Gesture Detection The initial settings for the orientation are as shown below. LEFT RIGHT DOWN...
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 The faster the gesture, the closer together the peaks in the signals are. If the signal peaks are small (can be caused by the hand temperature being close to background temperature), it is recommended to reduce the sensitivity in the settings window as will be described later.
Gesture and Motion Evaluation Kits (Digital) USEQMSK_____00 Window Size • Window width in samples used to detect event. Larger window allow slower gestures, smaller rejects them. • Range: 10 to 2,000 • Typical: 400 Detection Threshold • How high the peak value has to be before recognised for gesture. •...
