Introduction

EVALKIT-VL6180X is an application field-specific evaluation kit from STMicroelectronics. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the VL6180X Time-of-Flight proximity sensor. The kit comes with an STM32 Nucleo-64 board, and a range of development resources to aid the development of applications. This kit is typically used in the field of high-precision short-range sensing.

Application Field

EVALKIT-VL6180X is designed for those who need to sense items at short distances and at a higher accuracy than commonly used technologies. It is especially popular for applications in the industrial, automotive, and consumer industries.The kit is capable of sensing distances ranging from 10 to 100 centimeters, with an accuracy of 0.5 cm. This makes it suitable for a range of applications, from sensing small objects in production to navigation when driving. For industrial automation, the EVALKIT-VL6180X is used in factory automation to enable inspection, positioning, and quality control. In the automotive industry, it is often used for assisted parking, obstacle detection, adaptive lighting, and autonomous driving. In the consumer industry, the EVALKIT-VL6180X is used in a range of consumer electronics, such as robotic vacuum cleaners, drones, and other interactive products. It is also used for gesture control and games.

Working Principle

The primary component of EVALKIT-VL6180X is the VL6180X Time-of-Flight proximity sensor. The sensor uses a technique known as time-of-flight (TOF) to measure distance with great accuracy. TOF is a technology where a beam of light is sent out from the sensor, and the reflected light is then measured. The time it takes for the reflected light to reach the sensor is the basis for calculating the distance of an object from the sensor. The TOF technology used in the VL6180X sensor has a range from 10 to 100 centimeters, with an accuracy of 0.5 cm. This enables high precision sensing at short distances.The STM32 Nucleo-64 development board comes with EVALKIT-VL6180X. The board includes an STM32 microcontroller, numerous I/O ports, and a range of development resources. These resources enable users to quickly develop applications with the EVALKIT-VL6180X.

Conclusion

EVALKIT-VL6180X is an evaluation kit that is used to develop applications where high precision sensing at short distances is desired. It utilizes the VL6180X Time-of-Flight proximity sensor, which has a range of 10 to 100 cm and an accuracy of 0.5 cm. This makes it ideal for applications in the industrial, automotive, and consumer industries. The accompanying STM32 Nucleo-64 board provides the necessary resources to quickly develop applications with EVALKIT-VL6180X.
