2469 传感器雷达

坚持我们的理念，今天在我和Randall Restle的新产品发现中，我们将专注于一些独特，令人兴奋的传感器产品。我们将接触意法半导体和Acconeer的传感器，这两家供应商处于他们的最前沿。
各自的技术。
意法半导体的FlightSense是一系列基于红外线的飞行时间（ToF）传感器。
今天我们特别关注VL53L1X。
该ToF传感器的最大范围为4米。
它可以通过串行接口以与微控制器或处理器相同的方式进行编程。
VL53L1X可以设置为三个不同的范围，精度为20 mm。
意法半导体开发的该产品对环境光线不敏感，扩大了可以使用的潜在应用范围。
我已经考虑过设置这个部件来检测水箱中的水位，这样我就能监控并确保它按照应有的方式运行。
其他应用STMicroelectronics的FlightSense产品包括：用户检测，服务机器人，无人机，智能货架，智能照明和相机中的激光辅助自动对焦。
最重要的是，Acconeer刚刚发布了一款我很兴奋以脉冲雷达单元形式讨论的产品。
XR112是一款传感器板，专为客户演示和调试A111脉冲相干雷达传感器而开发。
最长的时间有人谈到Radar芯片进入市场 - 最后，他们就在这里！
该装置可在毫米级精度范围内工作两米。
该产品的一个特点是它的“连续模式”，您可以在其中告诉它更新频率（最高1500 Hz）。
该传感器的应用范围广泛：它具有高精度测量，单个和多个物体检测，可配置的测量范围，手势控制，并且非常灵敏，可以检测呼吸和脉搏率。
此外，A111还可以跟踪2D和3D对象以及识别某些类型的材料。
结合XC112和Raspberry Pi，您应该拥有开始使用Radar技术进行开发所需的一切。
谢谢你的收看！

Keeping true to our word, today on New Product Discoveries with me, Randall Restle, we will be focused on a couple unique, exciting sensor products.We will be touching on sensors from STMicroelectronics and Acconeer, two suppliers that are at the forefront of their respective technologies.
FlightSense, from STMicroelectronics, is a series of Infrared-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors. Today we are specifically looking at the VL53L1X. This ToF sensor has a range of up to four meters. It can be programmed in the same manner as a microcontroller or processor via a serial interface. The VL53L1X can be set up for three different ranges with an accuracy of 20 mm. STMicroelectronics has developed this product to be insensitive to ambient light widening the potential applications in which it can be utilized. I have thought about setting this part up to detect the water level in my cistern allowing me to monitor and ensure that it is operating the way it should. Additional applications STMicroelectronics has seen for its FlightSense products include: user detection, service robots, drones, smart shelving, smart lighting, and laser assisted autofocus in cameras.
On top of that, Acconeer just released a product I am excited to discuss in the form of a pulsed Radar unit. The XR112 is a sensor board developed for customers to demonstrate and debug the A111 Pulsed Coherent Radar Sensor. For the longest time there was talk of Radar chips coming to the market – finally, they’re here! This unit operates up to two meters in range at millimeter accuracy. One of the features of this product is its “continuous mode” in which you can tell it how often to update (up to 1500 Hz). Applications are far and wide for this sensor: it has high precision measurement, single and multiple object detection, a configurable measurement range, gesture control, and is so sensitive it can detect breathing and pulse rates. Additionally, the A111 can track 2D and 3D objects as well as identify certain types of material. In conjunction with the XC112 and a Raspberry Pi you should have everything you need to start developing with Radar technology.
Thank you for watching!
