Gesture recognition on VL53L5CX?

yzer.1 · ‎2022-11-03

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?

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.

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.
