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.

Resolved! I'm using the STSW-IMG012 "P-NUCLEO-6180A1 pack PC graphical user interface" and a P-NUCLEO-6180A1 pack based on the STM32F401RE. I have tremendous problems setting up values such as "Inter-Meas Period" to 2.5s. The tool is constantly resetting them.

The tool is working (somehow) with a VL6180 soldered to the "Bottom" connector. I want to have a measurement every 2.5s, so I select Device "Bottom, tick "Continual" and enter "2500" for "Inter-Meas Period(ms). When I start the Ranging, the "Inter-Me...

Resolved! Vl53l1x sensors from Pololu

Hey, For a project I am using multiple Vl53L1X sensors from ST and the driver I used is https://github.com/rneurink/VL53L1X_ULD/tree/94b88bc06ef44950ec3a5fd50b2f0287c23c5ad7It worked perfectly and am not having any issues.But am planning to use multi...
