Supported Evaluation Boards

Overview

The EVAL-CN0569-PMDZ is a 4-layer printed circuit board (PCB) designed in a PMOD form factor that enables evaluation of the CN0569 Infrared Light Angle Sensor Module for Gesture Recognition. The board integrates the ADPD1080 photometric front end operating in tandem with two ADPD2140 infrared light angle sensors to create a complete gesture sensing solution. Using the I2C Pmod hardware interface with a compact PCB footprint of 2.7 in x 0.8 in, the evaluation board connects to a controller such as the EVAL-ADICUP3029 to run firmware that initializes the hardware and launches an IIO server. A companion application running on a host computer communicates over a USB serial connection to sample the photodiode signals and execute gesture sensing algorithms.

Applications

  • Wearable health and fitness monitors

  • Clinical measurements

  • Industrial monitoring

  • Gesture recognition

  • Proximity sensing

Hardware Specifications

Power Supply Requirements

The EVAL-CN0569-PMDZ is powered entirely through the Pmod VCC pin of its I2C Pmod connector (P1), which is supplied by the connected controller board (e.g., EVAL-ADICUP3029). The board accepts a VCC input consistent with standard Pmod voltage levels (typically 3.3 V). An on-board low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator steps down the Pmod VCC to generate a regulated 1.8 V supply, which powers the ADPD1080 AVDD and DVDD rails. The infrared LED supply (VLED) is shorted to Pmod VCC by default. No additional external power supply is required.

No-OS Supported Examples

The initialization data used in the examples is taken out from the Project Source Path.

IIO Example

The IIO example launches an IIOD server on the EVAL-ADICUP3029, allowing a host computer to connect via a serial USB context and interact with the ADPD1080 device through any IIO-compatible client. Using IIO Oscilloscope, users can access and adjust device settings such as sampling frequency, channel offsets, and data scale factors for each photodiode input.

The IIO example is the default build configuration (IIOD=y is set in src.mk). Two variants are available:

IIO over UART (default):

# IIOD is enabled by default, no additional flags needed
IIOD = y

IIO over WiFi:

# Enable networking for WiFi-based IIO communication
IIOD = y
NETWORKING = y

Used Hardware

Connections

Step 1 - Pmod Connector (P9):

Connect the EVAL-CN0569-PMDZ to the EVAL-ADICUP3029 via the P9 PMOD connector. Use pins 3 to 6 of the CN0569 PMOD connector (P1) to connect to the top row of the P9 PMOD connector on the ADICUP3029 board.

Step 2 - INT/GPIO0 Wire Connection:

Use a breadboard wire to connect pin 1 of the CN0569 PMOD connector (P1, INT / ADPD1080 GPIO0) to pin 5 of the ADICUP3029 P7 header. This connects the ADPD1080 GPIO0 signal to an interrupt-capable GPIO on the ADuCM3029 microcontroller, which is required for clock calibration.

Step 3 - USB Connection:

Connect a micro-USB cable from the P10 connector of the EVAL-ADICUP3029 to a USB port on the host computer. This provides power to the board and establishes the serial communication link used by the IIO server.
