Discuss applications using ST FlightSense Time-of-Flight sensors, ST BrightSense CMOS image sensors, and ambiant light sensors (ALS) technology. Find answers to your questions on troubleshooting, data accuracy, optimizing communication and more.
I'd like to get something as close to the total number of counts for each SPAD vs time since the laser pulse was triggered at the highest temporal resolution possible. It is a bit hard to follow what the histogram functions in the driver are doing. A...
Working on a board that uses a VL53L0CX. But I do not seem to be able to communicate with the sensor and have even tried to scan i2c addresses with no luck. I am hoping someone here can take a look at the schematic I have for the sensor and let me kn...
I'm trying to adapt the example code available on st.com for VL6180_SimpleRanging (STM32CubeExpansion_6180A1_V1.0.0 for STM32F401RE-Nucleo) so that the Bottom sensor is used, rather than the one soldered directly on the 6180XA1 expansion board (V2).M...
I haven't been able to find a recommended footprint (PCB pad layout) for the VL53L5CX, either in the datasheet or anywhere else. When will that be available? Or did I miss it somewhere?
I need to measure the level of a transparent liquid of small depth (5-20mm). I try vl6180 or vl6180X. The sensor is located at a height of 30-40mm from the bottom. The sensor does not see the liquid. It shows the distance to the bottom. If you gradua...
Hello,I am trying to use a VL53L0X with an ESP32. The integration is being done using VS Code with the Espressif extension.My issue is with the VL53L0X API. I added the API to my main folder but when I call some functions they are not being recognize...
We are conducting study on mapping using VL53L0X proximity sensor to your company. But we met some problems while we were researching.To proceed with the mapping, we need to know exactly what the value returned by the sensor means. So it's important...
fatal error: ranging_sensor_comms.h: No such file or directory.The error is from the vl53lx_platform.c file, I have searched entire API driver code files and I didn't find the #include "ranging_sensor_comms.h" file.I want to know two things:How to ta...
Hi everybody!We are running out of time with our project, so every contribution is much appreciated!We are using VL53L1X to detect the liquid level in a water tank. We could SOMETIMES read the range data but not always. We are experiencing the VL53L1...
Welcome,I'm trying to use VL6180 sensor, but range results are unstable. They can vary about +-10 mm between readings.I'm using official C api. ECE, Filter and RangeIgnore are disabled. Upscale set to 1. Power supply 2,8V from linear regulator.I trie...
