Getting started with X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 ranging sensor with multi

target detection expansion board based on VL53L3CX for STM32

Introduction

This document provides detailed hardware information on

the X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 expansionboard.This expansion

board is compatible with the STM32 Nucleo family and the

Arduino™electronic boards. It is designed around the

VL53L3CX ranging sensor with multi target detection and

is based on the ST patented FlightSense™ technology.

To allow the user to validate the VL53L3CX in an

environment as close as possible to its final application,

the X-NUCLEO-53L3A1expansion board is delivered with

a holder in which three different height spacers of 0.25,

0.5, and 1 mm can be fitted with the cover glass above the

spacer. The height spacers are used to simulate different

air gap distances between the VL53L1X sensor and the

cover glass.

The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 expansion board is delivered with

two VL53L3CX breakout boards.

Overview

1 Overview

The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2expansion board features the VL53L3CX ranging sensor, based on

ST’s FlightSense™, Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology.

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

UNO R3 connector layout.

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

allows, for example, the development of VL53L3CX applications with Bluetooth or Wi-

Fi interfaces.

The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2 expansion board is delivered with:

•

Three spacers of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mm height, used to simulate different air gaps

between the VL53L3CX and the cover glass.

•

Two cover windows to simulate the integration of the VL53L3CX into the customer’s

final product.

•

Two VL53L3CX breakout boards which can be plugged onto the X-NUCLEO-

53L3A2 expansion board or connected through flying wires to the X-NUCLEO-

53L3A2 expansion board.

•

Two 10-pinconnectors to enable the customerto connectthe two breakout boards onto

the X-NUCLEO-53L1A1expansion board.

Note: The VL53L3CX is delivered with a liner to prevent potential foreign material from

penetrating inside the module holes during the assembly process. This liner must be

removed at the latest possible step during final assembly, before module calibration.

X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 expansion board

It is fundamental to program a microcontroller to control the VL53L3CX through the I2C

bus. The application software and an examples of the C-ANSI source code are available

on www.st.com

The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2expansion board and STM32 Nucleo development board are

connected through the Arduino™ UNO R3 connectors CN5, CN6, CN8, and CN9 as shown

in Figure 3 and as described in Table 3 and Table 4.

The X-NUCLEO-53L3A2must be plugged onto the STM32 Nucleo development board

through the Arduino™UNO R3 connectors.

1. Depends on STM32 Nucleo board solder bridges, see details in Section 3.3: Solder drop configurations.

These interrupt signals are duplicated, but not used. This offers hardware connection flexibility in case of

conflict on the MCU interface management when the expansion board is used superimposed with other

expansion boards. In this case, remove the solder drop from the used interrupt and instead, fit the solder

drop in “NC”.

3.3 Solder drop configurations

Solder drops allow the following configurations of the X-NUCLEO-53L3A2expansion board:

•

If the developer wants to make an application with several expansion boards stacked

and there is:

–conflict with the microcontroller port allocation, the GPIO1 can be output on the

CN8/A4 (U17 fitted) of the Arduino connector. The default configuration is that

GPIO1 is output on the CN8/A2 (U14 fitted) of the Arduino connector.

–conflict on the I2C addresses, the addresses of the STMPE1600 can be modified

(the default addresses A2, A1, A0, 000, and 001).

•

If the developer wants to connect breakout boards (see Figure 5) to the X-NUCLEO-

53L3A2 expansion board:

–the VL53L3CX interrupt of the left breakout board can be output on the CN5/D9

(U10 fitted) or CN5/D8 (U11 fitted) of the Arduino connector. By default, the U10

and U11 are not fitted.

–the VL53L3CX interrupt of the right breakout board can be output on the CN9/D4

(U15 fitted) or CN9/D2 (U18 fitted) of the Arduino connector. By default, the U15

and U18 are not fitted.

–the VL53L3CX interrupts of the left and right breakout boards, GPIO1_L and

GPIO1_R, can be shared with the VL53L3CX interrupt on the main board,

GPIO1, by fitting U7 and U8 solder drops. By default U7 and U8 are not fitted.
