firmware

The epc611 evaluation kit uses the TOF>range 611 and TOF>frame. They are general purpose camera/sensor modules based on the

epc611 chip:

■ The sensor/camera is based on a board with a small microprocessor.

■ The sensors, with their UART interface, communicate with the computer via USB-UART adapter, using a virtual "COM" port.

■ The USB interface supplies the sensor with power.

■ The application firmware on the sensors have a 3D-TOF kernel which manages the camera, including correction algorithms.

Connecting the system

1: Connect the USB-UART adapter to the TOF>range 611 or TOF>frame 611 and the USB cable.

2: Plug the USB cable to the computer. System is powered up and ready to use.

3: Run the evaluation kit software

Disconnecting the system

1: Close the evaluation kit software

2: Disconnect the USB cable from the computer to power-off USB-UART adapter and the sensor.

4.2. Software, software development kit (SDK) and application tools

ESPROS Photonics supports the user's development and application by having various support tools available e.g. software development

kit (SDK), updates and program downloads for the epc611 chip, application interfaces (API), etc. They are all available by downloading the

ESPROS_epc611_Evaluation_Kit_Software_vX.X. Updates of camera firmware are also included in the package.

After the download, first read the README and CHANGELOG files to get the latest operation and application information.
