What does the VL53L1_run_spad_rate_map function do in the VL53L1X API?

Hello everyone,I was searching the VL53L1X's Full API and I came across with a function in the "api_calibration" class called " VL53L1_run_spad_rate_map". My question is what quantity does the “SPAD rate�? indicate? And what task does this function e...

VL53L0X Calibration

We are putting the VL53L0X in a device with a tinted lens cover. Example shown bellow. I wanted to know about the calibration process during manufacturing that is recommended in the Application note. Is the calibration different from each individua...

i am trying to merge vl53l1x API to nrf52....it is giving me an errors to files "vl53l1_platform_user_data.h" "vl53l1_wait.h" the errors are unknown type name 'VL53L1_DevData_t'

request for member 'CurrentParameters' in something not a structure or unionrequest for member 'LLData' in something not a structure or unionrequest for member 'PalState' in something not a structure or union i am using nrf52832 and vl53l1x sensor

Does VL53L1x GUI Software works for all nucleo-64 boards?

I have Nucleo-F446RE and  VL53L1x satel. I have connected pins as followSCL - D15SDA-D14INT-A2GND-GNDVDD-3v3When I open GUI software It says Sensor not detected.

Hi! I’m planning on using VL53L1X sensors to control an aircraft maintenance platform. I would like to know how dust (for example when the aircraft is being painted), luminosity and vibrations affect measurements. Thank you in advance!

broken TOF sensor vl53l0x

I am using the vl53l0x tof sensor in one of my products but I am currently experiencing a huge amount of fallout on this product.On a batch of 30, I had 10 broken VLX53l0x TOF sensors after soldering.What occured, the sensor started to pull down itse...

Maybe an elegant way to address multiple VL53L1X sensors.

Can I use the GPIO1 from the first sensor on the I2C bus to control the XSHUT pin on the second sensor etc.Here is the plan.Assume that I do not use the GPIO1 pins to interrupt my microcontroller. I will use the API to check it there is new data. XS...

Invalid range from VL6180X

I have the X-NUCLEO-6180XA1 board working with an STM32G071 Nucleo board. However the range reading doesn't seem to change when the range to the object changes. If there is nothing in range, I correctly read 0x72 from the range status register, but...

How can i determine convergence time with VL6180X Time of Flight sensor. The application scenario is to be able to calculate speed, since speed is distance divide time.

The picture i uploaded is a screenshot from the datasheet. And according to the datasheet, Effective max convergence time depends on the actual convergence time plus readout averaging sample period setting. Please i want to know how to calculate the ...
