Overview

The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board features the VL53L0X ranging and gesture

recognition sensor, based on ST’s FlightSense™, Time-of-Flight technology.

It is compatible with the STM32 Nucleo board family, and with the Arduino UNO R3

connector layout.

Several ST expansion boards can be superposed through the Arduino connectors, which

allows, for example, to develop VL53L0X applications with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi interface.

The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with:

•

Three spacers of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mm height, used to simulate different airgap between

the VL53L0X and the cover glass

•

A cover glass to simulate the integration of the VL53L0X into the customer’s final

product.

•

Two VL53L0X satellites, which can be plugged onto the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion

board or connected through flying wires to the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board.

•

Two 10 pin connectors to enable customer to connect the two satellites onto the

X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board.

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.
