AEKD-AFLPANEL1 Data brief Adaptive Front Light testing and prototyping kit arranged on plexiglass panel Features Panel arrangement of boards forming an adaptive front light (AFL) system. Panel size: 330 x 270 x 40 mm (approx.). Designed for application development and testing, allowing rapid interchanging of function and control boards. Several evaluation boards mounted on panel provide independent control of: two stepper motors for light projection angle adjustment (X and Y directions) LED string currents for high beam, low beam, daytime running lights (DRL) and direction lights a cooling fan All the above loads are included in the (AEKD-AFLLIGHT1) headlight assembly, available separately. Kit supplied complete with cables and connectors. Includes control board with SPC5 Chorus MCU to monitor entire system. Dedicated STSW-AFL001 firmware running on MCU includes sample code modules covering typical AFL functionality. Special connector board to easily link demo boards with MCU board. WEEE and RoHS compliant. All ST components are qualified Automotive grade. Part of the AutoDevKit initiative. Product summary Description Plexiglass panel with The AEKD-AFLPANEL1 is a panel assembly of the driving hardware for an adaptive AutoDevKit boards AEKD- front light testing system featuring ST AutoDevKit boards on a specially designed for vehicle adaptive AFLPANEL1 front light systems perspex board that facilitates development and prototyping activities. The panel provides a tidy arrangement of two stepper motor control boards, a four- Adaptive front lighting AEKD- motor, light and fan channel LED driver board, a control board with SPC5 Chorus microcontroller for AFLLIGHT1 loads for AutoDevKit automotive applications, a connector board with a FAN switch board and further connector board for wiring configuration. AutoDevKit adaptive front lighting kit STSW-AFL001 Used in conjunction with the AEKD-AFLLIGHT1 demo automotive headlight firmware assembly with LED lights, stepper motors and fan, these two kits provide a complete adaptive front lighting tool for application and solution development purposes.
