Resolved! I2C communication problem with the VL53L1X Time of Flight sensor

Hello,I'm trying to use the VL53L1X on my nRF52DK, but I experience some problems.Previously, I've successfully used the VL53L1X with an Arduino UNO using the pololu Arduino library (link below). For my project I need to use this sensor on the nRF52,...

VL53L1X strongest / nearest reflector

Is there any way to configure the VL53L1X sensor to deliver either the strongest or nearest reflector (reflector at closest distance) ? The latter case would be preferrable for our application scenario.

VL53L1X ambient rate drops with better target reflectance

It looks like the ambient rate delivered by the sensor drops, the better the reflector is (the higher the signal rate is). In a practical evaluation the ambient rate dropped from 40 kcps to 0 kcps when the signal rate increased from 400 kcps to 12000...

VL53L1CB Low Ranging Performance and Flickering

Hi,I designed a sensor array containing multiple VL53L1CB sensors. They are configured to scan a 3x3 grid inside its view with multizone scanning. That works great at small distances but suffer a distances above ~1,5m.Experimentation shows that the s...
