Presence and motion detectors are electrical devices that use sensors to detect nearby motion. Such devices are often integrated as system components that automatically generate alerts when motion is detected in an area. These detectors are vital components of security and surveillance systems, automated lighting control, energy efficient systems, and other management systems. They can also enhance public and home safety by automatically triggering smart locks, smart doorbells, and other home and building automation systems.
This document is a general introduction to using the Chirp SmartSonic Evaluation Kit, including the SonicLink demonstration tool. Basic concepts in ultrasonic sensing are explained, and specific usage scenarios for the evaluation kit are explored.
This document is a guide for installing and using the SonicLink software tool in combination with the TDK/Chirp SmartSonic board. Users will gain hands-on experience with the unique ultrasonic sensing technology of the Chirp CH101 and CH201 sensors, which provides accurate range measurements in a compact, low-power device.
This document details the specification, programming and operation of an EV_MOD_CH101-03-01 (referred to as the EV_MOD_CH101 in the remainder of this document) ultrasonic sensor evaluation module. The module board incorporates a CH101 Ultrasonic Sensor device with an omnidirectional acoustic housing assembly, a capacitor and an FPC/FFC connector. This evaluation module can perform pitch-catch and pulse-echo range-finding at distances from 4 cm to 1.2m. Several programming options are available for medium and short-range applications.
This document details the specification, programming, operation, and basic performance of an EV_ICU-10201-00 ultrasonic sensor evaluation board. This board incorporates the ICU-10201 Ultrasonic Sensor device with PCB, two capacitors and an connector.
This document details the specification, programming, operation, and basic performance of an EV_MOD_ICU-10201-00 ultrasonic sensor evaluation module. This module board incorporates the ICU-10201 Ultrasonic Sensor device with a 180° Field-of-View (FoV) acoustic housing assembly, particle ingress filter (PIF), two capacitors and an connector.
