1. Product Introduction
Giada RD01 is a sensor docking station powered by ESP32-S3 microcontroller unit for IoT
solutions. With 2 sets of phoenix connector 6pin GPIO and 6 sets of 4-pin I2C grooves,
RD01 can provide GPIO and I2C expansion for PCs, enriching the application scope of PCs.
RD01 supports both DC and USB type-C power supply, with an input voltage of 5V. The
phoenix connector of GPIO provides 3.3V/5V power output, and the I2C interface provides
3.3V power output.
Giada provides embedded programs and configuration software for RD01 to connect
sensors through GPIO and I2C.
Notice: This user manual guides you to connect the sensors to the host PC. For different sensor settings,
please check your sensor configuration guide.

3.2 Add the Sensor
Click the button of "Add"and you can add the sensor. At present it can support the following
several sensors.
Pressure sensor( FSR402/4);The port type is GPIO;The parameter is null；
Laser Ranging Sensor (VL53L0X);The port type is I2C;The parameter is {addr=0x52}；
Radar Sensor(HLK-LD2410C);The port type is GPIO;The parameter is null；
Electronic Scale Pressure（HX711）;The port type is GPIO ;The parameter is {5KG}。
Note：The parameter of Electronic Scale Pressure must fill out max threshold.。The SCK and DT interface
of Electronic Scale Pressure must be set as adjacent GPIO port number. Such as SCK connect to GPIO2,
then DT should connect to GPIO3.
The sensors can be shown on the left after successfully added (Display a pop-up tip
indicates success).
