<div dir="ltr">Markus,<div> Would love to see a demo of the sensor. I hope you can make a RBNV sometime soon.

I started experimenting with the epc611 module, available in two<br>
configurarions, one for range finding<br>

and the other for imaging<br>

(same chip and same driver, just configured differently for the<br>
application and the housing). Has an 8x8 ToF sensor, easy to interface<br>
driver. Got it hooked up to a Nucleo-32 evaluation board and it works<br>
rather nicely - biggest issue was figuring out how to configure the CRC<br>
to match the driver.<br>
<br>
The big brother (and fairly new) is the epc635 with 160x60 sensor field:<br>

I have no experience with this one.<br>
<br>
If I ever manage to attend one of your RBNO meetings (still business<br>
hours on my end) I can give a demo.<br>
<br>
Have fun,<br>
