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...
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...
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...
Rev 7 of the VL6180X datasheet shows the SYSALS__INTEGRATION_PERIOD register at 0x040, however Version 2 of AN4545 changed the address of what presumably is the same register from 0x040 to 0x041. Which is it?Thanks.
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 ...
I am using Pololu's adaptation of the ST library for Arduino. When I call VL53L1_GetCalibrationData() and print the optical center x and y values, I get 0x70 for both. How should I interpret this value? I've tested on an Arduino Uno as well as a MKRZ...
Hi allMy vl53l0x sensor is currently giving the "no update" status. The API only mentions that the error will not trigger. What does that mean?What could be wrong when this status is received and how could I resolve it?Thanks in advance
I was testing the returns from the VL53L1X to build up an algorithm for a project, and one of the edge cases is an object outside of a transparent 'wall'. Normally, when there is an object outside of the transparent 'wall', the sensor picks up the o...
I have a custom circuit board and below is my setupMCU: STM32L151C8T6Sensor: VL53L0XIDE: AtollicLanguage: CI came to notice that I must include the VL53L0X library to use it, and I'm having trouble doing so. I have downloaded the "en.STSW-IMG005.zip"...
I need to use multiple V6180x SATEL sensors to get distance measurements, however I do not know how to make it work directly through the I2C connection, since once connected the sensor is not even found by the I2C.Is it possible to use this sensor by...
