X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 ranging and gesture detection sensor

expansion board based on VL53L0X for STM32 Nucleo

Introduction

This document provides detailed hardware information on X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion

board.

The X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is compatible with STM32 Nucleo family and

Arduino™ electronic boards.

This product is part of STMicroelectronics offering of expansion boards designed around the

VL53L0X ranging and gesture recognition sensor, based on ST patented FlightSense™

technology.

To allow the user to validate the VL53L0X in an environment as close as possible to its final

application, the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with a holder in which 3

different height spacers of 0.25, 0.5 and 1mm, used to simulate the air gap, can be fitted,

with the cover glass above the spacer.

To allow the user to quickly access the gesture recognition demonstration, the

X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board is delivered with two VL53L0X satellites.
