API documentation or C/C++ library for VL53L7CH or VL53L8CH (to be used with ESP32/Arduino)

calvong · ‎2024-01-12

Hi,

Could someone please point me to where I can find the API or programming guide (which i2c reg to read the range data, which reg to set mode etc.) document for the VL53L7CH. I have looked everywhere and the only thing I can find is the ULD examples from ST. For me, these aren't very straightforward to convert into a C/C++ library :(

I would like to write a library for ESP32/Arduino to use VL53L7CH, I found a repo for VL53L8CX but I am hoping to find a bit more documentation specifically for the L7CH so I can extend the library to read the histogram on the CH version. Any help would be appreciated 🙂

Thanks,

Calvin

Hello,

We are planning to do this porting in the coming weeks. Stay tune if you want to get a release done by ST.

Meanwhile, you can find a User Manual in the STSW-IMG043_EVK package here.

There is also an article about CNH here.

Hope this helps,

Regards

Anne

Hi,

Any news from the porting of software for the VL53L7CH or VL53L8CH? Is that still planned? I havent found any library for reading histogram data yet, but maybe I missed it.

Best,

Paula

This is still planned but more likely for end of June

Sorry for the delay
