Operational Information

Technology

This device measures distance by calculating the time delay between the transmission of a near-infrared light and its reception after reflecting off of a target, using the known speed of light.
The
LIDAR-Lite Semiconductor. This SoC pairs an ARM Cortex-M4 processor with 1 MB of flash memory and 256 KB of RAM. The included
2.4GHz multiprotocol radio and S340 SoftDevice support Ultra Low Power (ULP) wireless technologies, including ANT and Bluetooth® 5 LE.
The
LIDAR-Lite that allows the developer to communicate with the device using several methods. An I2C interface allows the device to be connected to an external micro-controller, or it can be controlled and operated wirelessly using the ANT wireless protocol in accordance with the ANT Ranging Profile.
The
LIDAR-Lite LE secure DFU bootloader, which enables wireless software updates using a Bluetooth LE capable device.

Theory of Operation

When the device takes a measurement, it first performs a receiver adjustment routine, correcting for changing ambient light levels and allowing maximum sensitivity.
The device sends a reference signal directly from the transmitter to the receiver. It stores the transmit signature, sets the time delay for “zero” distance, and recalculates this delay periodically after several measurements.
Next, the device initiates a measurement by performing a series of acquisitions. Each acquisition is a transmission of the main light signal while recording the return signal at the receiver. If there is a signal match, the result is stored in memory as a correlation record. The next acquisition is summed with the previous result. When an object at a certain distance reflects the light signal back to the device, these repeated acquisitions cause a peak to emerge, out of the noise, at the corresponding distance location in the correlation record.
The device integrates acquisitions until the signal peak in the correlation record reaches a maximum value. If the returned signal is not strong enough for this to occur, the device stops at a predetermined maximum acquisition count.
Signal strength is calculated from the magnitude of the signal record peak and a valid signal threshold is calculated from the noise floor. If the peak is above this threshold, the measurement is considered valid and the device will calculate the distance. If the peak is not above the threshold, it will report 1 cm. When beginning the next measurement, the device clears the signal record and starts the sequence again.

Interface

Initialization

When you turn on or reset the device, it performs a self-test sequence and initializes all registers with default values. After roughly 22 ms, you can take distance measurements using the

I2C Interface

This device has a 2-wire, I2C-compatible serial interface. It can be connected to an I2C bus as a slave device, under the control of an I2C master device. It supports 400 kHz Fast Mode data transfer.
The I2C bus operates internally at 3.3 Vdc. Internal 13 kiloohm pull-up resistors ensure this functionality and allow for a simple connection to the I2C host.
The device has a 7-bit slave address with a default value of 0x62. The effective 8-bit I2C address is 0xC4 write and 0xC5 read. The device does not respond to a general call. Support is not provided for 10-bit addressing. The device auto-increments the register address with successive reads or writes within an I2C block transfer. This is commonly used to read the two bytes of a 16-bit value within one transfer. See Obtaining
Measurements from the I2C Interface

Settings

You can configure the device with alternate parameters for the distance measurement algorithm. You can use this algorithm to customize performance by enabling configurations that allow speed, range, and sensitivity options. See the full control register list settings.
Configurable I2C Address
You can change the I2C address from its default to any 7-bit value. Before you can configure the secondary I2C address, you must first enable flash storage (0xEA). After you configure the secondary I2C address, the address persists if you turn off the device. You can use this process to run multiple devices on a single bus by enabling a device, changing its address, and then enabling the next device. Before you can change the I2C address, the I2C communications bus must read the UNIT_ID and write it back to the device in a single five-data-byte transaction with the new I2C address as the fifth byte. Software template functions for configuring the I2C address are available at https://github.com/garmin/.

Mode Control Pins

The mode control pins can be used to trigger distance measurements and check the status of the These connections are not required. These pins can provide a simpler and faster method of controlling the device, and they are intended to be used in conjunction with the I2C interface. For more information, go to

as possible, you can reverse steps 2 and 3 so the LIDAR-Lite v4 LED device takes a distance measurement while performing the I2C register read. When this occurs, the LIDAR-Lite v4 LED device is in the process of measuring the distance while the registers are read. The distance returned is the previously triggered measurement.
ANT
ANT is a practical wireless network protocol running in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Designed for ultra-low power, ease of use, efficiency, and scalability, ANT easily handles peer-to-peer, star, tree, and mesh topologies. Other ANT capable devices can connect to the LIDAR-Lite v4 LED to control it, receive data from it, and configure it wirelessly. ANT messages are sent and received from the ranging profile.
For more details about the ANT ranging profile and the capabilities and workings of the ANT wireless protocol, see ANT Ranging Profile and ANT Message Protocol and Usage at

I2C Protocol Information

DRAFT
The sensor module has a 7-bit slave address with a default value of 0x62 in hexadecimal notation. The effective 8 bit I2C address is 0xC4 write, 0xC5 read. The device will not respond to a general call.
The last NACK in the read is optional, but the formal I2C protocol states that the master shall not acknowledge the last byte.

I2C Protocol Operation

This protocol description uses the term master to refer to the host controller, and the term LIDAR-Lite v4 LED device acting as a slave on the I2C bus.
When working with the I2C serial bus protocol, the LIDAR device operates as follows.
The master initiates data transfer by establishing a start
1
condition, which consists of a high-to-low transition on the SDA line while SCL is high.
The master sends an address byte, which consists of the 7-
2
bit slave address. The master sends a read/write bit with a zero state, which
3
indicates a write request. A write operation is used as the initial stage of both read and write transfers.
If the slave address corresponds to the LIDAR device
4
address, the during the ninth clock pulse. This operation is considered the acknowledge bit. At this stage, all other devices on the bus remain idle while the selected LIDAR device waits for data to be written to or read from its shift register.
Data transmits over the serial bus in sequences of nine clock
5
pulses (eight data bits followed by an acknowledge bit).
device responds by pulling SDA low
LIDAR
device to refer to the
LIDAR
These transmissions must occur on the SDA line during the low period of SCL and remain stable during the high period of SCL.
The master sends an 8-bit data byte following the slave
6
address, which loads the I2C control register on the LIDAR device with the address of the first control register to be accessed.
The master requests a read operation from the LIDAR device
7
or sends a write operation to the LIDAR device.

Read Operation

After the master establishes communication with the LIDAR device, you can obtain a reading from the LIDAR device.
The first data frame sets the address of the desired read
1
register. The master sends a stop bit at the completion of the first data
2
frame. The master initiates a new start condition, which consists of

Reprogramming the nRF52840 SoC

NOTICE
Reprogramming the nRF52840 System on Chip (SoC) removes all pre-programmed factory software. The device comes preprogrammed with a unique ANT ID to ensure each device can be uniquely identified over the ANT wireless protocol. When reprogramming the device, special precautions should be taken to preserve the information about accessing and retaining the ANT ID value.
