Imaging (sensors)

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 ...

Please explain the optical center values returned by ST's VL53L1X API function VL53L1_GetCalibrationData()

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...

vl53l0x status 255: no update

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

Strange behavior with VL53L1X between transparent and reflective objects

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...

Using VL53L0X with STM32L151 MCU, library header file compilation error

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"...
