Resolved! Each VL53L0X seems to have a slightly different FOV (Field of View). Is it possible to maximize its FOV?
The datasheet shows VL53L0X has 25 degrees of FOV. However each VL53L0X shows slightly different FOV.For example, one VL53L0X seems to be 24 degrees, another VL53L0X seems to be 26 degrees.What is the FOV range of VL53L0X?If possible, I hope to maxim...
VL53L1 Solar Test Method
Hello.I am using the VL53L1.It's fine for indoor lighting.However, in sunlight, the measurable distance becomes shorter.Is there any way to test it similar to this sunlight?Could you please tell me how to test it in relation to sunlight?thank you.
What's the meaning of the Reference SPADs calibration? What's the meaning of the number and type of reference SPADs? What happens if VL53L0X_SetReferenceSpads() and VL53L0X_GetReferenceSpads() are not used?
I have used VL53L0X without using VL53L0X_SetReferenceSpads() and VL53L0X_GetReferenceSpads(). The VL53L0X are working well without using them. I found out that some VL53L0Xs have narrower FOV than others and that VL53L0X_SetReferenceSpads() and VL53...
Resolved! tap / double-tap detection using VL53L3CX
I would also like to clarify whether there is support for the multi-zone VL53L3CX sensor? Do you have code samples or libraries for tap / double-tap detection using VL53L3CX?
We would like to use the VL6180 sensor in an underwater robot and we would like to know some details about the sensor in order to find the most suitable configuration for our needs.
Is it possible to adjust the LED current ? (increase the current a little bit to compensate for water absorption).Could you give us more details about the WAF? because we've observed a strange behavior during underwater measurements (for targets with...
Is the VL53L5CX IEC 60825-1:2007 and IEC 60825-1:2014 compliant and harmonized with the DIN EN ? Is there a compliance report available ?
Hello,Next week I have to assemble and demonstrate my project in my local school. My project includes the VL53L5CX-Satel. Does the VL53L5CX compliant with the DIN EN ? Can you provide me a compliance report wich include all the measured limits of the...
Dust free advice - ToF cover glass
During "Discover our latest range of ToF sensors featuring improved short range performance"(28.06.22) it was said you have tip to reduce dust for cover glass. I want to ask about this tip.
Resolved! What is the maximum and minimum exposure area in m² of the VL53L5CX in 8x8 Mode?
Hello STCommunity,I can't find some data about the exposure area in m² of the VL53L5CX ToF-Sensor, there is only the FOV in degree mentioned in the flyers and datasheet, as you can see below.I look forward to hearing from you.kind regards Maik H.
