DK-CH101


The DK-CH101 is a comprehensive development platform for CH-101, a miniature ultrasonic range sensor with a measurement range of 4cm to 120cm. The development kit is equipped with an on-board CH-101 sensor and up to four external MOD_CH101 sensor modules can be connected to the board via flat-flex cables for easy prototyping. 

Part of the SmartSonic platform, the DK-CH101 is designed around Atmel's SAMG55 Cortex-M4 MCU, and can be used by developers for rapid evaluation and development of CH101 based solutions. The DK-CH101 includes an on-board Embedded Debugger so external tools are not required to program or debug the SAMG55 MCU.

The development kit comes with necessary software including SonicLink, a GUI based development tool and embedded drivers for MOD_CH101.

​SonicLink is a GUI based development tool included with the platform. It can be used to capture and visualize the sensor data from the on-board CH-101 ultrasonic sensor and external MOD_CH101 sensor modules..
​Main features and benefits:
  • Ultralow power range sensing
  • Fast and accurate range measurement regardless of target size
  • Detects any color object including windows, glass doors and walls
  • Immunity to ambient noise
  • Works under any lighting condition
  • Synchronized multi-sensor operation enables 2D and 3D range sensing
  • Wide field of view (FoV)
Main applications:
  • Augmented and Virtual Reality
  • Drones and Robotics
  • Mobile and Computing Devices
  • Obstacle avoidance
  • Printers and Scanners
  • Proximity sensing
  • Presence detection: always-on sensing to lock/unlock and power on/off notebooks, tablets, white goods, etc.
  • Smart Home
