Imaging (sensors)

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.

What cover lens should I use with the VL53L5CX?

There is no mention in the data sheet as there is with the VL53L1X. I am currently using this cover from Hornix - would it work here as well?

Will the same cover glass I am using for the VL53L1x work for the VL53L5CX as well? while I found a reference to this cover glass in the VL53L1x data sheet, there is no recommendation for the newer part. I am using the Hornix IR080C0-IC09-A066-2

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...

VL53L1X-SATEL - Low signal and unreliable readings - any ideas?

Hi allI've built an oil tank level measurement system following https://www.instructables.com/WiFi-Oil-Tank-Monitor/The system works very well on the bench, but when installed on my oil tank I'm seeing very low signal levels, especially at low ambien...

How to use the VL53L5CX with indirect sunlight

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...
