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 VL53L4ED 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-53L4A3 expansion board. Failure to prevent electrostatic discharge could damage the device. Figure 2. Electrostatic logo 1.1.2 Laser safety considerations VL53L4ED contains a laser emitter and the corresponding drive circuitry.
