Step 1: Order your evaluation board
Discover the full potential of smart presence detection with our evaluation kits. If you're exploring Time-of-Flight sensors for the first time, the full STM32 Nucleo kit is an excellent way to start. If you already have an STM32F4 Nucleo board, our dedicated expansion board is the ideal expansion to evaluate your Time-of-Flight sensor. For evaluation tests in real environments, our breakout boards enable easy and immediate sensor integration.

Time-of-Flight expansion board
Ready-to-use expansion boards designed to evaluate the VL53L7CX and VL53L8 ToF 8x8 multizone ranging sensors

Time-of-Flight breakout boards
Breakout boards based on the VL53L7CX and VL53L8 ToF sensors for easy integration into prototypes and a shorter time to market

Step 2: Use the graphical user interface and define your setting parameters
Step 2: Use the graphical user interface and define your setting parameters
Use the graphical user interface (SmartPresenceDetection_EVK) to configure your application. Its user-friendly widgets allow you to adjust sensor settings, distances, and timings to fine-tune your solution. Detailed user guidelines (SmartPresenceDetection_UG) in the package provide step-by-step support through the installation and evaluation processes.
Step 3: Integrate the solution into your device
Ready to integrate the solution into your device or application? Use our precompiled libraries, which are compatible with microcontrollers running Linux, Android, and Cortex® M0+, M3, M33, M4, M7, and start shaping applications of the future.
