What are the purpose of the I2C functions?
Hi,For a project, I am trying to interface the VL53L1 sensor with the MSP432P401R development board using the API from ST. I'm writing the functions for writing and reading all the bits using I2C, and I was wondering what was the explicit purpose for...
VL53L0X_GetReferenceSpads() function retuns 0 as Spad count and PerformRefSpadManagement fails with Reference Spad Init Error. Why?
After static init in the code:if(distOpStatus == VL53L0X_ERROR_NONE) { Print("Getting ReferenceSpads: "); distOpStatus = VL53L0X_GetReferenceSpads(pDistanceSensor, &refSpadCount, &isApertureSpads); } if(distOpStatus == VL53L0X_ERROR_NONE) { ...
can we change the VL53l1x address?
I want to use multiple VL53L1x sensor with same I2c bus so can we change sensors address
Resolved! VL53L1X hanging on first wait for data
I have a VL53L1X connected to a multi-slave I2C bus hosted by a broadcom bcm2835 running linux (4.19). I have configured the `vl53l1_platform.c` from the api ("stsw-img007") to use the <linux/i2c-dev.h> interface with tracing and see bi-direction com...
Resolved! VL53L1X - Autonomous low-power mode
If anyone could help me point to location in the API where I could implment "Autonomous low-power mode".And on "Autonomous low-power mode" what is the expected current draw?for a battery operated project what should I tweak in the API to get more pow...
Resolved! Vl53l1X GPIO1 Interrupt
Hi there,My application is battery operated, so I’m trying to wake up atmega328p from deep sleep from an interrupt though the GPIO pin from the sensor. I'm using Thresholds, "inside window". If any object ditected inside the range, to fire a trigger ...
Can multiple VL53L1X be operated in parallel?
Sensors are close to each other (let's say, 30cm). The range is the medium-long one. Their FOV may overlap in production. I'm using ULD. Does this means that I have to VL53L1X_StartRanging and then wait for its result before calling VL53L1X_StartRan...
How to make a simple measurement in Labview using VL53L0X with MyRio?
I'm a beginner and I tried a simple code, but it didn't worked. Has anyone tried to do a project like this and succeeded to make a simple measure?
Multiple VL53L1X interrupt mode
For my project, I need to use 2 Vl53L1X on the same I2C bus. The setup is good and i can use them sequentially. But I would like use them in interrupt mode (for have a maximum speed).In short/interrupt mode with one sensor i have 20ms time beetween 2...
