HI We are thinking about a method for detecting people. The prerequisite is that we need to detect people by penetrating a plastic case with a thickness of about 3mm (white). The existing PIR cannot penetrate the case, and radar sensors are expensi...
Hello,Our application requires detecting the presence of a low-reflectance object when inserted between the TOF sensor and a highly reflective object (polished brass). The inserted low-reflectance object is at a distance of 15mm and the high-reflecta...
Following up on a diff post. I have a strange result. If I call the GetSensorId for the VL53L1X we use today I get a return of decimal 61098 which is 0xEEAA. However the comments in the code claim for the GetSensorId should be: "This function retur...
We are beginning to migrate from the L1 to the L4. Wondering if there is a way to auto-detect which sensor is on the board? I would like to build one fw version which abstracts away which sensor is in use (albeit taking advantage of diff features) b...
In the search for a distance senor which can sample at highest rate. Given the constraint of a measurement range <1m and accuracy of relative distance changes in the low mm range. Ideally we could get a sampling rate of 1kHz.The VL53L4 sensors would ...
Hi, typedef struct { uint8_t Status; /*!< ResultStatus */ uint16_t Distance; /*!< ResultDistance */ uint16_t Ambient; /*!< ResultAmbient */ uint16_t SigPerSPAD;/*!< ResultSignalPerSPAD */ uint16_t NumSPADs; /*!< ResultNumSPADs */ } VL53L1X_Result_t...
What is the Hex code to enable extended mode for the VL53L4CX please ??
Hi ST team,I'm developing the device which is using VL6180. Sometimes ToF(VL6180) is not recognized the object. And sometimes it is not recognized first and then becomes recognized again. But I don't know why this happened. I'm trying to find the rea...
Hello,I am trying to use the VL53L7CX on a robotic project with the provided driver, but it fails at Init.The sensor is detected as alive ("isAlive" is true), the I2C speed is set to 1Mhz (even if I tried lower speeds as well), and it fails exacly at...
Does anyone have access to documentation with an actual list of registers with addresses and functionality and a full description of the register bits for the VL53L0X? All I have been able to find is documentation that refers to the questionable API...
