Resolved! TOF sensors VL53 ranging limitations with ambient light

Hi. We are starting a new automation project that needs to detect distance to objects as small as 5 cm by 5 cm, at a distance from 5 cm up to 200 cm. I have been testing VL53L3CX, and VL53L1 through Satel eval. boards. Connected to a proprietary hard...

Example 10: Motion indicator example.

In the example file there is this comment.   /* (Optional) Change the min and max distance used to detect motions. The   * distance between min and max must never be >1500mm, otherwise the function below returns error 127       min value is 400 max v...
