A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout

Is your project in need of high - precision, advanced distance measurement? Or perhaps speed, motion, or gesture sensing? Forget about basic ultrasonic or infrared sensors; we're talking about 60GHz radar! Meet our small, pulsed - radar gem: the Acconeer A111. The A111 is a single - chip pulsed coherent radar (PCR) solution. It features integrated antennae and an SPI interface with clock speeds up to 50MHz. While its main function is distance sensing, it also supports gesture, motion, material, and speed detection, and can detect objects up to two meters away. Our A111 breakout board comes with a 1.8V regulator and voltage - level translation between 1.8V and either 3.3V or 5V. It also exposes all pins of the pulsed radar sensor to both 0.1 - inch and Raspberry Pi - friendly headers. This breakout board is mainly designed to work directly with a Raspberry Pi. Acconeer’s SDK currently only supports ARMv7 (like a Pi) and ARM Cortex - M4 (such as the nRF52832). Check out our Using the A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout tutorial to learn how to use the sensor with a Raspberry Pi. Note: This is an experimental SparkX product. It's quickly made to offer you the latest technology. It's tested but comes with no guarantees, and live technical support isn't available. Visit our forum for support or questions.

Using the Acconeer A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout Board is quite straightforward. First, connect it to a Raspberry Pi as it's mainly designed for this interface. The board has voltage - level translation and exposes all pins to headers for easy connection. To start using it for distance, speed, motion, or gesture sensing, follow the steps in the Using the A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout tutorial. When handling the board, be gentle as it's a delicate piece of equipment. Since it's an experimental product, there are no guarantees. If you run into any issues, don't expect live technical support. Instead, head over to the forum to ask questions. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and clean environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks. If you're not using it for a while, store it properly to prevent any damage.
