1 Description
This evaluation kit (Order No. KI-1210003) is designed to provide you the most quick and easy approach to the HALIOS® technology based on Elmos IC E909.06.
A typical HALIOS® application consists of optics, electronics and software. While the majority of electronics and software are
covered by the IC and its firmware, the evaluation kit supports you with examples for optic design and a ready-to-use development environment. Power supply of the hardware is established via USB or with an alternative external power supply (not
included with the evaluation kit). Use this kit for an easy analysis of gestures and the positioning of the sensors.

3 Sensor heads
Two sensor heads will be delivered with the evaluation kit. Dependent on your evaluation purpose you can choose whether to
use only one gesture head or to use the dual head adapter and connect both heads to the baseboard.
4 Gesture-head (FR4 prototype)
In the beginning of 2013, a new gesture head was launched to realize simple and easy proximity- and swipe-gestures. The new
HALIOS® gesture head consists of two sender LEDs (incl. a current driver for each sender LED), one photodiode as a receiver and
one compensator LED.
This HALIOS® gesture sensor is intended for close to mid-range motion detection like proximity and swipe gestures. For human
machine interfaces it is in a class of its own at realizing relative x- and z-position of an object within the sensor area. By using
two gesture heads you get additional information about the relative y-position.
Proximity range (awareness) up to approximately 40 cm in z-axis, swipe gestures up to approximately 25 cm in x- or y-axis
(proximity and swipe range depends on the tilt angle and on the reflectivity of the object, e.g. human skin).

5 Connection of gesture heads to the baseboard
The default software supports connection of one or two gesture heads to the baseboard. In case of using two gesture heads
you have to use the dual head adapters as it is shown in Figure 4.
You are free to connect any other kind of a HALIOS® sensor head. If you do so you may have to alter the hardware and software
settings.
