Imaging (sensors)

Could you explain the working principle of motion indicator on VL53L5CX?

Hi, because there is almost no information about Motion Indicator from the existing docus, could you pls explain how does it work. And what does it aim to be used?Thanks,Best regards,Wayne

VL53L3 / VL53L5 calibration for glass with GUI software?

Hello,I want to evaluate VL53L3 / VL53L5 devices. The end application will be behind glass with a distance of ~20-30mm between sensor and glass. I've Nucleo and Satellite boards for the two sensor types and setup a corresponding test environment wher...

Measuring short ranges with VL6180

Hi,we are planning to use 3x VL6180 on same PCB to accurately (1mm) measure distances in a dark container. Our required range of measurement is 2 to 80mm. So far we got to around 0.5mm accuracy, but the problem is repeatability. Exactly what i mean i...

I need to detect an object up to a distance of 8 inches 3 times per second with a power budget of 0.1 mW average. I am using a VL53L0X and I have been trying to lower the power consumption without much success. Can somebody help me with this?

I have a design ready to go but it needs to work for 3 years using 4xAA alkaline batteries. My company has planned 500K pcs/yr. I would really appreciate any help with this.Thanks,AL

I have a problem on VL53L5CX_ULD API (exaple1 ranging basic) during the function vl53l5cx_init(&Dev).

I am using the exaple1 ranging basic (VL53L5CX_ULD API ) on microcontroller nrf52840.during vl53l5cx_init(&Dev) we get stuck on "do while loop" in the below Function (vl53l5cx_poll_for_answer() line number 304 ). I'm include the I2C driver (Read&Writ...

X-Nucleo 53L5A1 works fine with Windows GUI, but does not even init / is not alive using API

Hello,the VL53L5CX is a really nice senor. I have done some measurements using the Windows GUI and was impressed, so I wanted to write a driver for the sensor and do some further evaluation.I then tried to initialize the sensor using the ULD-API and ...

VL53L0X: Need to measure amplitude of echo, namely the last echo, And identify major change while scanning irregular surface with solid object.

Very unstable operation of the VL53L0X sensor. It can output 8191/8190 on the first run and output correct values on the second. Please any suggestions how to solve the problem?

Hello. I have problems with VL53L0X sensor. I will list my observations here.First, I carry out the calibration procedure. The sensor passes all initialization steps correctly (Data Init(), Static Init() and so on). Then calibration is performed. For...
