Hello,in one of our new devices, we are using the VL53L3CX as a distance sensor, mainly for its small size and I2C connectivity. But we found out that even if we compensate the distance offset, after turning the device off and on again, the compensat...
Hi there,I'm currently trying to write the platform code for the VL53L5CX using a Raspberry Pi Pico.I'm trying to publish the sensor data via micro-ROS in a ROS2 topic. When I use my current code I only get values close to zero and they are the same ...
HiI want to use the VL53L1X to measure the distance of a target less than 30 cm away and about 1 cm in size.Is it possible to ignore the measurements above 30 cm?I would like to know the settings to ignore the area above 30 cm when calculating a dist...
Moved from the Feedback forum - which is not for product questions.Dear person in chargeCould you please reply to the following?Thank you so much for your attention and participation.Q1We are looking for a ToF sensor that meets the following require...
Hello, I faced *** problem because of *** website and can't download VL53 range sensor API.It may be that I'm *** as well. But every time this *** button does nothing: https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-img005.html#st-get-software So ST ...
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 ...
