STMicroelectronics AEKD-AFLPANEL1 AFL Testing & Prototyping Kit

STMicroelectronics AEKD-AFLPANEL1 Adaptive Front Light (AFL) Testing and Prototyping Kit is a panel assembly of the driving hardware for an adaptive front light testing system featuring ST AutoDevKit boards. The AEKD-AFLPANEL1 is arranged on a specially designed perspex board that facilitates development and prototyping activities.

The panel consists of two stepper motor control boards, a four-channel LED driver board, a control board with an SPC5 Chorus microcontroller for automotive applications, a connector board with a FAN switchboard, and a connector board for wiring configuration.

When paired with the AEKD-AFLLIGHT1 Demo Automotive Headlight Assembly with LED lights, stepper motors, and a fan, these two kits provide a complete adaptive front lighting tool for application and solution development.
