VL53L5CX Register description

I just started working with VL53L5CX but can't find details on the commands/registers. I had a look to the example code and can use it but I can only guess what the different settings send via i2c to the firmware will do. I also studied the different...

I use sensor VL53L1CBV0FY/1. It works, distance is measured. I began to make calibrations and problem occured. After calling VL53L1_PerformRefSpadManagement the error -13 (VL53L1_ERROR_CONTROL_INTERFACE) is appeared.

Inside this function I determined that the error is in inner function VL53L1_run_device_test. I can not find information about it. The PCB is wired correctly. There are interface pull-ups. Thanks.

We are using the VL53L0X for distance measurements. A use case is to measure the distance of a black box with high reflectivity. There we have a measurement problems when the sensor is orthogonal to the object.

There I have the issue that I measure a wrong distance of 0 mm (instead of 40 mm). As soon as I tilt the device (<5°) it measures reasonable values. So then it is fine.I also tried it with the evalkit. There I see the same behaviour.Is there a way to...
