I wish to connect the P-board, which has a 22-pin connector, to a Raspberry Pi that has a 15-pin camera connector (From the Raspberry Pi 1/2/3/4 series, not the 5). The datasheet for the P-board only gives a vague suggestion. Is there a specific cabl...
Hi John, Could please confirm if the slew rate requirement of VL53L8CX is satisfied in the EVM X-NUCLEO-53L8A1? We're considering to use TI's TLV751180330PDSQR to power up the VL53L8CX sensor. But the TLV751180330PDSQR supports 11mV/µS approx. Also,...
Hello ! I am calibrating a VL53L4CD ToF sensor. Is it suggested to set a large timing budget (e.g. 200 ms) for the offset and crosstalk calibrations' distance measurement process? In the distance measurement examples, the timing budget is set to 10 m...
Hi,i've been posting here a few times to get a VL53L4CX to work. I've had success so far, but the latest iteration of my little PCB is really giving me troubles.When i apply power to my board (via an esp board) it stops working (the esp32 board). It ...
I am guessing there is nothing that can be done about this, but I thought I'd post about it. I got the VL53L8CH because it has better bin resolution than the VL53L3CX, which I hoped to use to distinguish between objects at different ranges that are c...
Hello everyone, I am currently working with the VL53L8CX sensor to explore solutions for a specific use case. In particular, I am trying to detect glass material using the CNH (Compacted Normalized Histogram) data—more about this can be found under t...
Hello! I've designed a custom PCB very similar to other breakout boards on the market, because there are additional components I want to fit in a small package alongside the VL53L1X sensor. When testing my PCB, the sensor does not initialize. I've be...
Hi all,I'm currently developing test code for the VL53L1 ToF sensor using STM32CubeIDE, and I'm aiming to optimize the sensor's performance for close-range measurements — specifically in the 10mm to 200mm range — with a target accuracy of around 1–2%...
HI folks.I would like to wake up my ESP8266 using an interrupt from the VL53L0X sensor.I have configured the sensor to use both threshold detection and to trigger an interrupt. I tested whether the interrupt is being triggered, and it is— the GPIO pi...
Hello,I am using the VD56G3 connected to a STEVAL-CAM-M0l1. There is a very small ribbon cable between the sensor and the connector on the CAM-M0l1 - roughly 5mm. I am working on a mock-up of some smart glasses where I'd like to extend that cable t...
