Getting started#

The NOVELDA X4F103 Shield is designed to be used together with the Nordic nRF52840DK. This setup can be used for evaluating NOVELDA X4F103 Proximity and Occuapcny Sensor. NOVELDA provides two different software options helping users to start with their development process.

1. Evaluation - Simple visualization#

To start evaluating the NOVELDA X4F103 Sensor, it is recommended to use the NOVELDA X4F103 Shield together with a Nordic nRF52840DK and run the NOVELDA X4F103 Shield Tool. This tool gives a simple visualization of the sensor output, and allows the user to change parameters like algorithm, range, sensitivity and timeout in an easy way.

2. Development - X4F103 SDK#

The X4F193 SDK with example code is provided for both the Occupancy and Proximity algorithms. The X4F103 SDK contains both code and example projects that can be used for product development with the NOVELDA X4F103 sensor.

Software#

Download the X4F103 SDK from here:

nRF52 Example#

The example projects are made for the Nordic nRF52840DK or nRF52833DK and can be used together with the NOVELDA X4F103 Shield. After downloading the X4F103 SDK for Occupancy or Proximity the example projects are found in the examples-folder. Description of how to run the included examples is found here:

X4F103 SDK example user guide

Documentation#

The X4F103 SDK library for software development with Occupancy or Proximity is found in the source-folder. The software is provided in C and can easily be ported to other platforms. More information about the X4F103 SDK can be found here:
