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...
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...
