HI, We have an application where the VL53L5CX is used near a door that are indirectly exposed to sunlight. I try to be able to do some measurement around 1m. Indoor, the sensor is working good. If I put the sensor near an exterior door, I see some of...
Hi,I'm using CubeIDE 1.9.0 with X-Cube-TOF1 package 3.0 on a Nucleo-F401RE with VL53L5A1 expansion.I want to create the simple ranging example application with additional crosstalk calibration. I followed the steps from software package user manual U...

We are trying to extend the FOV of this VL53L1X sensor, and our current idea is to use multiple that are overlapping. Will these sensors cause interference with each other when they are close together?
Hi, We are trying to measure distance from our sensor through an IR Translucent plastic to a curved metal surface, using a VL53L1X. We are getting reasonable results by they are rather noisy (~10% deviation at times)What sort of changes should we be ...
I thought HANDLE was part of the stm32 hal library so I tried including stm32h7xx_hal.h however it did not resolve the issue
In our application, we don't necessarily need to know the true distance, we only need to know when it's in a certain range, and it doesn't matter if that range is represented as 30-40mm or 50-60mm, only that is consistent. Can we get away with not ne...
From what I gather, sunlight causes the sensor to return a much larger value. Should this always be the case? Or is sunlight going to cause a variety of different values. I have mixed results in testing.
