Question

Need older version VL53L8CX ULD API v1.2.1

 

Context


We are currently using a 3 year old VL53L8CX ULD API version v1.1.0. According to the changelog in the latest ULD API here:ULD API for VL53L8CX version 1.2.0 introduces wrap around filter to limit false positives and an improved rad2perp coefficients which makes corner zones range better. Additionally v1.2.1 adds periodic temperature compensation without stopping and restarting ranging.

We are currently facing an issue with a customer where there are missed car detection with VL53L8CX ToF sensor installed in an outdoor setting (in certain situations like in a bright afternoon) and version 1.2.1 might resolve these issues.
 

Problem

The only available ULD API version on st website is the latest one i.e. 2.0.1. This is a major revision change which increases the porting effort for not a lot of gain from v1.2.1 to v2.0.1 for our specific use case.

 

Ask

Can you share an older version of ULD API, specifically v1.2.1, to download?
