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
hi i want to confirm can i use single vl53l3cx for depth mapping, i know that i should use l5,l7 or l8 but these not available in my country? and also since vl53l0cx the cheapest can i multiple of those too for the same?
Hi, I am having trouble with the interrupt. I manange to coummunicate via I2C and read Model ID and Type. But my problem is that i can't initiate the sensor via the VL53L1X_SensorInit() function in the Ultra Lite Driver I'm using. When I debug I see ...
