I am using the VL53L8CX sensor to measure distances, and I am getting correct values. After some time, the data starts to be sometimes incorrect, while slowly increasing the ratio of incorrect vs correct, until eventually all of the readings are inco...
I’ve been using the "vl53l8cx" sensor to measure distances through I2C, and I noticed that when I measure distances (between 10cm and 50cm), the values reported by the sensor are consistently half of the actual distance. For example, when the actual ...
Currently I'm using some of the vl53l5cx api functions along with some custom code. I plan to have multiple ToFs used and noted, via o-scope, that the initialization function vl53l5cx_init (looks to be blocking code?? correct me if I'm wrong) takes a...
Hi I have an application inquiry...'m looking into remote mounting a ToF sensor (i.e. VL53L4EDV0DH/1) in order to observe the environmental limitations of the sensor in a more difficult envorment...are there any guidelines or application history for ...
To begin, I am using the vl53l8cx breakout board from Pololu with a Nucleo-F446RE and PlatformIO. I have been having trouble getting the VL53L8CX to start ranging using the SPI2 interface. I get successful responses from the `_is_alive()` and `_init(...
How do you turn the VL53L4CX extended mode on in python3 ??
Currently, I'm working on a project to detect human height, but the measured height appears shorter under strong ambient light. I would like to know if the ambient light affects the distance measurements
We placed two VL53L1X sensors at 18.6" in our temperature chamber. Over a 50C swing we saw up to 1.15" of variability. In the images bellow the chamber temperature stabilized around 30 minutes. The target was a large 24x24 sheet of white nylon 0.5" t...
Hi, I am trying to integrate the VL53L8CX ULD driver with a project that utilizes chibios on an F4 based board.The TOF sensor firmware seems to be about 86KB. For a transfer of this size, the device fails to setup and use DMA-safe bouncebuffers. I ca...
#define RANGE_ERROR_DISTANCE_BELOW_DETECTION_THRESHOLD 0x03#define RANGE_ERROR_OTHER 0xFFHi ST,Some of our production devices are receiving the above errors. Can someone help me with understanding what might cause these errors?Thanks,Will
