VL53L1X has VCSELs and 16x16 SPADsWhat I am curious about is the order of operation when reading 16x*16 SPADs one by one.1. VCSEL on2. Read SPAD[0,0] value3. VSCEL off4. VSCEL on5. Read SPAD[1,0]6. VSCEL offwhether or not1. VSCEL on2. Read SPAD[0,0]3...
We're currently evaluating a VL53L1X sensor underwater (in a sealed housing) , but beyond 2m IR light is absorbed too much. A ToF sensor based on 532nm would achieve better results. Which options exist other than 940nm?
Hi, We have been testing the VL53L1X for a while. The primary intend is to measure the occupation a container (30cmx30cmx80cm) filled by small objects (10cmx10cm). We would like to limit the number of sensors to have a low energy consumption (system ...
We are using VL53L0x for measuring piston position inside syringe.We consider piston position at bottom of syringe as reference position.As we move piston to top, the difference between actual and measured reading start increasing.At bottom differen...
We are working on an application where we are making VL6180X detect an approaching hand towards it. We would like to understand how can this application work when sensor is covered by an opaque black film. Is there a special calibration required? The...
Hi everyone,I tried to use the eval board nucleo 53L1A1 with nucleo F767ZI with the API STSW-IMG005.I adapted the API without the serial line, i used the HAL_I2C lib etc .I used the example single ranging in the example folder in API.the first part ...
Hi,Readings from my VL6180X sensor are very unstable. They vary about +-8 mm from measure to measure.I tried with Nucleo board and official api, and also with Arduino board and Sparkfun code. 2,8V power supply is from linear regulator, measured objec...
e are operating VL53L0X in High Accuracy mode with time budget configured to 9000msec.Please help us to understand how sensor taking multiple sample and gave final stable output in high accuracy mode.We are going to use this sensor for distance measu...
Hi!I notice that in the datasheet of both VL6180 and VL6180X, there is EXACTLY the same plot of distance measurement. So that's leaving me to the question: Who is best for short distances, VL6180 or VL6180X?Have a look at page 12/87 here:Proximity an...
