VL6180V(1NR/1) absolute maximum range

Hi,I have a project with VL6180X sensor. Moving from first prototype to second revision, I have realized that I have no use for AWS sensor. Therefore I can switch the sensor to the non-AWS having, also cheaper VL6180V. Datasheets of these sensors are...

Why vl53l0x returns 8191 all the time

vl53l0x interfacing STM32F7I used Pololu libraries and replaced read and write functions with HAL functions, at first it worked properly for several hours, but after that it stopped working and returned 8191 value, after two hours it started working ...

Can XSHUT & GPIO pins in a multiple VL53L0X configuration handle 5V when interfaced to a 5V Microcontroller like Arduino Mega?

I see from this GY530 schematic that the module has level converters for the I2C lines, but not for GPIO & XSHUT lines. When using a 5V micro-controller like an Arduino UNO or MEGA to run multiple VL53L0Xs using XSHUT to configure addresses, will dr...

Difference between Long Distance Mode and Short DM - VL53L1X

What is the difference betwen Long DM and Short DM in terms of principle of operation?For example in ULD API for Short Distance Mode these registers are used:status = VL53L1_WrByte(dev, PHASECAL_CONFIG__TIMEOUT_MACROP, 0x14); status = VL53L1_WrByte(d...

I can't use VL53L1x sensor from other micro controller.Because there is no related document(s).Please help me about its registers init sequence and reading sequence to measure distance. Regards.

I can use this senser only together ST micro controller.Also its freeware APIs not enough for this purpose.I think ST must provide neccessary support about this subject without need anycustomer feed back.( Because VL53L1X is belong you )Regards.

How to troubleshoot I2C bus sensor response problem?

I have a project where I am attempting to use six ST Microelectronics VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors grouped into two 3-element arrays for position/orientation sensing on an autonomous wall-following robot. I originally had both arrays installe...
