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

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 ...

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
