Release Notes for X-CUBE-53L0A1

Software for STM32, Expansion for STM32Cube

Copyright 2016 STMicroelectronics

 


The X-CUBE-53L0A1 software package is an expansion for STM32Cube, associated with the
X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board for STM32. The source code of this package is based on STM32Cube to ease portability and code sharing across different STM32 MCU families. Implementation examples are available for the STM32 Nucleo Ranging expansion board  (X-NUCLEO-53L0A1) plugged on top of an STM32 Nucleo development board  (NUCLEO-F401RE or NUCLEO-L476RG).

 


X-CUBE-53L0A1 software features:

  • Driver layer (VL53L0X API) for complete management of the VL53L0X ranging sensor integrated in the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 expansion board.
  • Gesture detection library to build gestures applications.
  • Easy portability across different MCU families thanks to STM32Cube.
  • Free user-friendly license terms.
  • Example code for ranging measurement
  • Example code for ranging with multiple VL53L0X sensors. Up to 3x VL53L0X devices can be controlled using the X-NUCLEO-53L0XA1 expansion board equipped with 2x satellites (53L0A1-SATEL-I1).


The figure below shows the overall architecture.
