Product details
A compact STM32 carrier with one soldered 8 × 8 ToF daughterboard provides 64-zone radial ranging with the ST VL53L5CX. This is a fixed, installed board assembly; the daughterboard is not a user-swappable accessory. The common carrier provides USB-C development access, two connectors on one shared CAN/power bus, selectable termination, and a 20-contact soldered module interface. Daughterboard components face outward on the underside. The gallery shows Blender renders of the October 13 detailed STEP assemblies, with three views of this installed daughterboard. The supplied silkscreen labels and exposed copper artwork are retained, with black soldermask, gold pads and reflective metal surfaces. Internal copper remains behind the opaque board surfaces. Cable mates and wires are omitted. Some components retain simplified envelopes; render materials and highlights are visualization choices. These are CAD renders, not product photographs or qualified clearance drawings. The supplied R1 Family 0.2.0-engineering follow-up reports firmware and host integration implemented and locally tested for this variant. Its family-wide validation report records 77 passing software tests using native mocks and simulated Cyphal nodes; this is not a per-board hardware test count. Physical board testing and ROS 2 runtime validation remain pending. The engineering software includes R1 Sensor Studio for ToF grid and 3D views and CAN network diagnostics. Confirm software delivery, licensing, support and integration requirements with your inquiry.
$159 USD per board assembly. Shipping charged separately. Hardware designs and an engineering software baseline are available for integration review. Physical hardware qualification and ROS 2 runtime validation remain pending. Package contents, software delivery, licensing, support and lead time are confirmed by inquiry.

|---|
| Assembly | One compact carrier with one soldered daughterboard; 20-contact interface carrying power, I²C, SPI and control signals |
|---|---|
| Processor | STM32G0B1KCU7, Cortex-M0+, 64 MHz; 256 KB flash and 144 KB SRAM |
| PCB outline | 36 × 40 mm including mounting ears; 36 × 26 mm main body. Connectors, components, and cables require additional clearance. |
| Power design target | 9–60 V regulated DC; unqualified. Rail, thermal, startup and transient validation remain open; not a motor-bus surge rating. |
| Bus connectors | Two Molex Pico-EZmateHC 4-pin connectors on one shared CAN/power bus, not independent CAN channels |
| Bus pinout | 1 CAN_L · 2 CAN_H · 3 GND · 4 VIN_BUS |
| Termination | Selectable 120 Ω end-of-bus termination via CAN TERM jumper |
| Development access | USB-C, BOOT and RESET. Follow-up reports a separate Classical CAN SLCAN adapter firmware image for a spare carrier, with daughterboard rails off; physical USB/CAN operation untested. |
| Qualification | Designed hardware; assembled units and system performance are not yet qualified. CAD images use some simplified component envelopes. |
| Sensor | ST VL53L5CXV0GC/1 |
|---|---|
| Measurement | 8 × 8 grid / 64 ranging zones; radial distances and per-zone status |
| Component limits | Up to 4 m under specified sensor conditions; 65° nominal diagonal field of view; up to 15 Hz at 8 × 8. These are sensor limits, not measured R1 board performance. |
| Software status | R1 Family 0.2.0-engineering reports firmware and host integration implemented and locally tested with mocks/simulation. Physical hardware qualification and ROS 2 runtime validation pending. |
| ROS 2 source mapping | Engineering bridge source maps DepthGrid, radial-range/status images and diagnostics. ROS 2 runtime validation pending; calibrated point clouds are not included. |
| Release and test evidence | Supplied family-wide 0.2.0-engineering report lists five compiled STM32 targets and 77 passing software tests. Driver interfaces use mocks; Sensor Studio uses simulated Cyphal nodes. This is reported evidence, not independent hardware verification. |
|---|---|
| Release limits | Physical MCU/USB/CAN, sensing and power qualification pending; ROS 2 runtime untested. Development USB IDs and unsigned engineering binaries are not a production release. Public licensing and support remain to be confirmed. |
| Variant interfaces | DepthGrid, radial-range/status images and diagnostics. ROS 2 runtime validation pending; calibrated point clouds are not included. |
