Hi, I am working on VL53L1CB sensor for designing Obstacle detection sensor.I have tested with accuracy and range of sensor.I am encountering the problem of random ranging when there is no target in front of sensor.I kept the sensor at height of 15cm...
Hello,I can find the "VL53LX_MAX_RANGE_RESULTS" parameter in "vl53lx_platform_user_config.h".But I can't find the usable range of the "VL53LX_MAX_RANGE_RESULTS" parameter.The documentation only mentions the default value 4.What is the usable range o...
How do I read the distance of the closest detected object instead of an average distance of all detected objects with the VL53L1X? Greetings. If I point the sensor at a wall and then slowly move my hand into the sensor's viewing area, the sensor grad...
I checked the Application note "AN5561", VL53L3CX maximum ranging performance improvements. I had a question about "1.3 Maximum ranging distance".The performance of Medium distance mode seems to be better than the one of Long distance mode. I though...
Hello, I am trying to set up a custom PCB with multiple sensors, including the VL53L3CX. As MCU, we are using the STM32G441KBU6, which seems to be too small for the bare driver API, and we did not find any acceptable alternative to the MCU. Is it pos...
If I want to take multiple readings on a VL53L1X at different ROI's, I need to set the optical centers for each ROI sequentially, one for each measurement.But when exactly do I do that, and what are the pitfalls?e.g. I have a timing budget of 20ms, a...
I have a sensor part no VL53L1CBV0FY/1 I use driver version 6.6.1.GetDeviceInfo reports:Name: VL53L1 cut1.0Type: VL53L1Product type: 0Version major: 1Version minor: 0My initialization sequence is like this: status += VL53L1_WaitDeviceBooted(Dev); st...
I have 6 VL53L3CX sensors connected via the same I²C bus. For this reason, the I²C address of each sensor must be changed as described in the UM2778 User's Guide.Does this procedure have to be carried out each time the device is restarted or disconne...
