Product overview

Description

The AEK-CON-AFLVIP2 connector board is designed to connect a car headlight solution demo featuring automatic adjustment of the low beam direction based on road geometry and tilt angles affected by weight distributions inside the car.

The board can connect an MCU discovery board, such as the AEK-MCU-C4MLIT1 (with 4x37 connector), with two AEK-MOT-SM81M1 stepper motor boards governing low beam direction (left-right and up-down), and a AEK-LED-21DISM1 LED driver board capable of supplying the different LED lights included in a modern front headlight assembly. It can also connect a high-side switch board from the EV-VNx range (e.g., EV-VN7050AS) to control a cooling fan for the LED headlight.

The AEK-CON-AFLVIP2 board is part of the AutoDevKit initiative, which allows you to build and test various application prototypes from a set of available boards and generating the dedicated drivers and pin assignments using the SPC5-Studio integrated development environment.
