Gesture recognition on VL53L5CX?

[yzer.1]

I have read that ST will be releasing code to show how to do gesture recognition on the VL53L5CX, when is this due to be released?

It's up already. Go to ST.com and search for the word 'gesture'. There are 2 results. Pick:

STSW-IMG035 - Turnkey gesture recognition solution based on VL53L5CX multizone Time-of-Flight ranging sensor - STMicroelectronics

It's the one you want.

Thank you!

I would like to use this with MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico W (Cortex M0+), using the Pimoroni breakout for the VL53L5CX.

Is the firmware in STSW-IMG035_EVK and the code in STSW-IMG035_M0p all that's required? Creating a port for this is (currently) beyond me, but perhaps I can find someone who can do this.

That is the theory. However I have NOT done this myself. There are just too many MCUs out there.

But that STSW-IMG035_M0p is compliled for that version of Cortex, so all you need to do is figure out how your IDE imports a library.

People do it all the time - you should be fine.
