I have the X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 board working with an STM32G071 Nucleo board. However the range reading doesn't seem to change when the range to the object changes. If there is nothing in range, I correctly read 0x72 from the range status register, but if something is in range, I seem to always get a range around 0x09 to 0x0D, regardless of if the target is moved closer or further.
Is there some setting I might be missing? I'm initializing the registers as follows:
static const vl6180x_reg_value_t init_regs[] = {
