Sipeed MaixSense A010 with LCD

The Sipeed MaixSense MetaSense A010 is a low-cost, all-in-one, versatile, and user-friendly 3D Time-of-Flight (ToF) solution for Internet of Things applications. With its 100×100 array ToF sensor and ToF processor on board, it integrates ToF signal processing, ToF sensing, and application algorithm onto a single board. It incorporates these algorithms: Particular uses, including keystone correction, posture management, posture monitoring, multi-area human body location and sensing, and ranging. Many Internet of Things applications, such as smart lighting, smart parking, smart appliances, smart TVs, smart projectors, and smart home facilities, employ these functionalities extensively.

The MetaSense A010 is powered by USB2.0 and outputs RGB images at 30 frames per second in addition to ToF depth data. Its highly developed optical, electrical, and very accurate algorithms can compute depth data down to the millimeter level. With dual support for ROS systems and an open ROS1 + ROS2 access function package, depth data and a depth map may be rapidly obtained.

Strong compatibility and a serial protocol foundation characterize MS-A010. For secondary development, it can be linked to single-chip development boards like the K210 bit or Linux development boards like the Raspberry Pi. It uses the serial port protocol to provide interfaces and transmit data. The physical interfaces we provide include type-c (virtual serial port) and a 1.0mm 4-pin motherboard (UART), which can obtain depth map data for integration.

what is TOF technology?

It is a method of distance measurement, which calculates the distance between the two by measuring the “time of flight” of signals such as ultrasonic/microwave/light between the transmitter and the reflector. It is the TOF sensor that can achieve TOF ranging. The most commonly used is infrared or laser ranging.

There is a difference in the distance between the objects. The module displays the cold and warm colors through the difference in the captured depth values. The cool and warm colors change with the mapping of the distance.
