Resolved! STEVAL-CAM-M0I Pinout compatibility with Raspberry Pi CM4
Hi, we are using the STEVAL-CAM-M0I board to evaluate the 55G0 protomodule.I have it connected to a raspberry pi CM4 IO breakout board, to the CAM1 CSI-2 interface.There is a provided driver, etc for this from ST, but it appears the pinout is not 1:1...
Resolved! VL53L1 Dynamic SPAD Selection Question
Hi!I have two short questions regarding the dynamic SPAD selection happening on the VL53L1 sensor discussed previously here:- Is there a minimum number of SPADs after the selection? As in, by utilizing a 4x4 region, should I expect no oscillations (t...
Resolved! vl53l1x number of SPAD?
I have been using GetResult method of grabbing the sensor reading. It returns this structure: typedef struct {uint8_t Status; /*!< ResultStatus */uint16_t Distance; /*!< ResultDistance */uint16_t Ambient; /*!< ResultAmbient */uint16_t SigPerSPAD;/*!...
Resolved! VL53L1 Water level measurement incorrect values
Hello.I’m utilizing the VL53L1 sensor to measure water level inside of a closed water bucket.While using a 30cm tall white bucket half full, with the VL53L1 positioned at the top aiming down at the air-water interface, the sensor sometimes outputs in...
Resolved! Using ToF sensor to measure distance to small object
Hello,Basically i am trying to measure distance to a hand that moves above the sensor, returned distance is used to light leds approximately at hand height. My problem is that hand is probably to small object or its reflectivity is not enough that ab...
Resolved! Using VL53L8CX-ULD-API Driver on previous versions TOF sensor
Greetings!Since the sensors VL53L8CX, VL53L7CX and VL53L5CX have many similar features, I would like to know if it is possible to use for example VL53L8CX-ULD-API Driver with VL53L7CX TOF sensor?
