Resolved! [solved] VL53L3CX linux driver, driver loading problem on STM32MP1
Hello,I'm trying to make the linux driver for VL53L3CX work on STM32MP157C-DK2. Already fixed some problems : made it work with new kernel by correcting functions names (timeval => __kernel_old_timeval and i2c_new_device => i2c_new_client_device , th...
Multiple sensors generate interference between each other
Hi ST team and community !I'm here because i have some troubles on the VL53L1X.I use the following library available on GitHub : openmv/vl53l1x.py at master · openmv/openmv · GitHub.I deployed several VL53L1Xs around the mobile robot, hoping to get t...
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! How to distinguish VL53L1CB (aka VL53L1) from VL53L1CX (aka VL53L1X)?
Is not clear how to identify (via SW reading on I2C) the version of these two PNs.From the datasheet seems that the Model ID and the Model Type are the same for both ICs. The Mask Revision could be the distinctive element but unfortunately it not rep...
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...
Resolved! library(VL53L0X API) license question
Hi,I read License Agreement for STSW-IMG005(VL53L0X API) and I have question about license because I don't find information important for me.I start develop open source project and I would like public complete source code of my project. Can I public ...
VL53L0X sensor data decrease after logging start and stabilize
We are working on syringe piston measurement application using VL53L0X for required accuracy of +/- 2mm.Overall we are getting required accuracy of +/-2mm. Sometimes we used to miss required accuracy.While analysis we came across one behavior of sens...
Can we also use SPI to communicate with the VL53L5CX?
Original product brief showed both I2C and SPI peripheral communication available for the VL53L5 but the data sheet now focuses exclusively on I2C. Is SPI then no longer supported or can both/either be used with the appropriate user-provided platform...
