Tredecile provides two new tools for Android devices

The kit includes the TeraRanger Evo 60m sensor - our flagship long-range Time-of-Flight range finder as well as two clip-on, interchangeable interface boards - USB Backboard and I2C/UART Backboard. With a 10% saving on individual product prices, the TeraRanger Evo 60m evaluation kit offers great value, making our technology even more accessible to R&D, education and developer communities.

The kit is built on our modular Evo sensor family and includes 3 different Time-of-Flight sensor modules: TeraRanger Evo 60m (long-range), TeraRanger Evo 3m (short-range) and TeraRanger Evo 64px (8x8 depth resolution for movement detection).

The modular two-part design of Evo sensors allows quick testing and prototyping with a variety of interfaces including USB, UART, and I2C. Just clip-on your preferred interface backboard to any Evo sensor. No additional calibration is required as the sensors stream factory calibrated distance values in millimeters, out of the box.

With its 10 cm to 3 m range, fixed 100 Hz update rate and greater accuracy, TeraRanger Evo 3m is perfectly suited to close-range distance sensing applications at higher speed. Applications include, presence and proximity detection, object detection/counting and robot navigation. All in a small and lightweight form-factor.

TeraRanger Evo 60m is our longest range Time-of-Flight sensor. Thanks to its 60 meters detection range within indoor environments, it is often used as a range finder, navigation and collision-avoidance tool for robotics and for materials stock level sensing.

Developed for indoor use, Evo 64px outputs a matrix of 8x8 high-speed distance readings over a 15 degree Field of View, with a maximum range of up to 5 meters. All in a small and lightweight form-factor, only 12 grams. A free graphical user interface is available for quick tests on your PC, and drivers for ROS are also written adding to the plug and play convenience.

TeraRanger Multiflex is a modular & low-cost sensing kit. You’ll receive eight plug and play sensor modules on one flexible bus making it easy to create custom configurations and to place sensors where needed. When sensors are positioned in a configuration where crosstalk is likely, the central Hub synchronizes distance measurements from each sensor, triggering these in a sequence that avoids crosstalk. It’s the ideal – and higher performance – alternative to ultrasound for robot collision avoidance, stock monitoring and a myriad other closer range distance sensing applications, all in one convenient and easy to use kit.
