Boardoza VL53L7CX Time-of-Flight Evaluation Board
The Boardoza VL53L7CX Time-of-Flight Evaluation Board is a professional-grade development platform built around the STMicroelectronics VL53L7CX multizone Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor and the STM32F103RCT7 ARM® Cortex®-M3 microcontroller. Unlike a standard breakout board, this evaluation board includes onboard processing capability, making it suitable for developing and testing advanced distance sensing, object detection, and spatial awareness applications without relying entirely on a host system. The integrated VL53L7CX sensor supports multizone distance measurement through a configurable 4×4 or 8×8 ranging matrix, enabling the system to generate spatial distance data across a wide field of view. Combined with USB Type-C connectivity and onboard STM32 processing, the board provides a practical platform for prototyping, testing, and integrating VL53L7CX-based sensing applications.
It is ideal for robotics, smart building systems, occupancy detection, gesture recognition, autonomous navigation, and industrial automation.
