I'm working on a project that requires liquid level sensing with a couple of complications I'm trying to address. The application is measuring levels in a vessel that is about 1.4m tall, so the ranges of interest are about 100mm to 1.5m. The target l...
Hello folks, I am trying to adapt my product to use the new VL53L4CD sensor, replacing another SPI distance sensor that is in use.However, I only have one I2C bus available and it is already shared with other sensors and devices, such as a FRAM. The ...
Can TOF sensors such as VL53L1X and VL53L5CX be cleaned with alcohol and/or cleaning wipes or be submerged in cleaning alcohol?
I am trying to compile the drivers for the ToF sensor: VL53L4CX for an embedded Linux application. I am running Ubuntu 22.04. When I try to make the drivers I get the following error: CONFIG_STMVL53LX=m make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD ...
Does anyone know where I can find a Cadence/Allegro footprint for the TOF sensor VL53L5CX? This is the optical LGA16 package. I would also like to find a Cadence/CIS symbol. thank you!
Hi all, I am trying to use a PIC18LF47K42 to read the distance from the Light Ranger 2 click board, which uses the sensor VL53L0X. I copy two folders: core and platform, which are inside the folder en.STSW-IMG005\VL53L0X_1.0.4\Api I add these file i...
I am using the VL6180 (not the X version). This is TOF only. When reading in continuous mode, I'm getting a tolerance of +/- 1mm and sometimes more. I'll list my settings below. My application will measure distances from 10mm to 100mm. Right n...
Hi,We have an issue with a production build of a VL53L1X based design. The VL53L1X is interfaced to a PIC18F micro, I have inherited the codebase and hardware. The initial production run was for 500 units, of these approx 260 passed our production te...
I have a VL53L8CX time of flight sensor connected via I2C on a custom board. The Board has other devices that can talk on I2C no problem. now i cant see the i2c address of the ToF device. from my understanding everything seems to be fine and in accor...
I tried using VL53L5CX with ULD API v1.3.6 with an ESP32-S3. I successfully ported the base C function for I2C, as I can talk with the sensor during the first part of the initialization process. Unfortunately, when I reach the NVM part, the function ...
