1Introduction
The purpose of this document is to give guidelines for use and integration of the TeraRanger
Evo 64px multi-pixel sensor with (a) UART backboard, and/or (b) USB backboard using
these standard communication interfaces.

1.1 About TeraRanger Evo 64px
TeraRanger Evo64px is the multi-pixel Time-of-Flight sensor of the TeraRanger Evo product
family. It provides a matrix of 8x8 distance readings over a 15 degrees FOV, with a
maximum range up to 5m. The sensor offers two operating modes: select “Fast” mode with
sampling rates as high as 130 frames per second or choose “Close-range” mode for
improved minimum range, with measurements starting from 10 centimeters. Evo 64px
delivers depth data in a compact form-factor, weighing as little as 12 grams. The sensor
uses infrared LED technology, meaning it is fully eye-safe and also operates in low light or
dark conditions without the need for external illumination.
2Mechanical integration
The mechanical design of the main sensor module (black) allows easy assembly to its
backboard (yellow) using a simple ‘clip-in’ technique. (When you clip the two together,
ensure there is no visible gap between the black and yellow parts.) The yellow backboard
has two mounting holes for final installation.

When choosing a place for mounting, please consider the following recommendations:
● Choose a place which is in accordance with the optical constraints listed below
● Mounting close to sources of heat or strong electromagnetic fields can decrease the
sensing performance
● Do not mount anything directly in front of the sensor or in a cone of approximately
±15° around the central optical axis of the sensor
● Within the first meter from the sensor, avoid objects with high surface reflectivity in a
cone of approximately ±45° around the central optical axis of the sensor
