Grove Shield for Seeed Studio XIAO with embedded battery management chip

pir

Seeed Studio Grove Base for XIAO is a plug-and-play Grove extension board for Seeed Studio XIAO. With the on-board battery management chip and battery bonding pad, you could easily power your Seeed Studio XIAO with lithium battery and recharge it. 8 Grove connectors onboard includes two Grove I2C and one UART. It acts as a bridge for Seeed Studio XIAO and Seeed's Grove system. Flash SPI bonding pad allows you add Flash to Seeed Studio XIAO to expand its memory space, providing Seeed Studio XIAO with more possibilities.

With the on-board battery management chip and battery bonding pad, you could easily power your Seeed Studio XIAO with lithium 3.7V battery and recharge it, making your projects, especially wearables ones, more flexible and in portable. You could even break the board through the onboard PCB stamp holds according to your actual needs of the project (only 25*39mm in dimension after break-off), making it smaller than smaller and the weight would be reduced from 13g to 10g as well!

As an extension board, the Seeed Studio Grove Base for XIAO also pulls all 14 pinout from Seeed Studio XIAO, and its on-board power switch and charging status indicator light makes it more user-friendly. The Shield even reserves the SPI-Flash bonding pad for an advanced developer who may need to add Flash to Seeed Studio XIAO to expand its memory space, providing Seeed Studio XIAO with more possibilities.

As Seeed Studio XIAO form factor, all Seeed Studio XIAO boards support both Grove Shield for XIAO and Seeed Studio XIAO Expansion board. There is a slight difference between the pins and refer to the Pinout it is easy to manage.

提示

Please plug the USB cable, Doppler Radar Interface into Seeed Studio XIAO expansion board Interface gently, otherwise you may damage the port.

  • Step 1. Plug Doppler Radar into Seeed Studio XIAO expansion board with a Grove Cable.

  • Step 2. Connect Seeed Studio XIAO to PC via a USB cable.

  • Step 3. Download the code, please refer to the software part.

  • Step 4. Run the code and the outcome will display on the screen of Serial Monitor in your Arduino IDE .

Software

备注

If this is the first time you work with Arduino, we strongly recommend you to see Getting Started with Arduino before the start.

  • Step 1. Download the Demo code.

  • Step 2. Copy the whole Seeed_Arduino_DopplerRadar file and paste it into your Arduino IDE library file.

  • Step 3. Open the BGT24LTR11_DETECTION_TARGET file with your Arduino IDE.

  • Step 4. Upload the demo. If you do not know how to upload the code, please check How to upload code.

Software Code

#include "GBT24LTR11.h"

#ifdef __AVR__
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial SSerial(2, 3); // RX, TX
#define COMSerial SSerial
#define ShowSerial Serial

GBT24LTR11<SoftwareSerial> GBT;
#endif

#ifdef ARDUINO_SAMD_VARIANT_COMPLIANCE
#define COMSerial Serial1

#ifdef ARDUINO_ARCH_STM32F4

void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:

GBT.init(COMSerial);
while (!ShowSerial)

while (!COMSerial)
;
/*
MODE 0 -->detection target mode
MODE 1 -->I/Q ADC mode
*/
while (!GBT.setMode(0))
;
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
uint16_t state = 0;
ShowSerial.print("target speed:");
ShowSerial.println(GBT.getSpeed());
state = GBT.getTargetState();
//2 --> target approach
//1 --> target leave
//0 --> Not Found target
if (state == 2) {
ShowSerial.println("target approach");
} else if (state == 1) {
ShowSerial.println("target leave");
}
delay(200);
}
提示

If everything goes well, you can go to Serial Monitor to see an outcome as following:

Grove-Doppler-Radar'' OUTCOME
Figure 3. No object approaching

And if there's an object approaching the radar or passing by, the outcome will alter as below:

Grove-Doppler-Radar'' OUTCOME
Figure 3. Object approaching
备注

The minimum speed accuracy that the sensor is capable of detecting is 52cm/s, which equals to 0.52m/s, 3.6km/h and 2.23mph. Additionally, the results returned by function getSpeed() are multiples of 52cm/s and are absolute values accordingly.
