VL53L1 Ambient light measurement

Hi all,I'm working on a project where I need to analyze the raw histograms from the VL53L1 sensor. For my analysis to work I need to subtract the ambient light from the histograms.I get the histogram data using VL53L1_GetAdditionalData(), and I can s...

I am trying to wire the VL53L1X-SATEL breakout board to a microcontroller (ESP32) yet the pinout is not clearly defined (even in the datasheet). Is VDD supposed to be the voltage input (between 2.8V and 5V) ?

If the VDD pin on the left (breakable) part of the breakout board actually is the input voltage, then there is a problem, for the voltage drops and it even causes a brownout.

Resolved! Hi we are currently using the VL530X in our unit and wanted to try out the VL53L1. I replaced one of the VL530X ToF sensors with the VL53L1. My question is will my software test for range detection still work if I updated the sensor?

Will I need to use a different version of the software to use the VL53L1 as compared to the VL53L1. Right now I am using the same script that was used for the VL530X.
