Resolved! Vl53l8 configuring the ranging frequency
Hi,I am using the VL53l8 sensor. i need to change the ranging frequency. im using the Xcube tof code. I see in the app tof code that #define RANGING_FREQUENCY (10U). so if i change 10u to 15. Willi get ranging frequency to 15 hz.? Thank u
VL53L8CX Intermittent Stopping Issue
Hello,I am using the VL53L8CX ToF sensor (I2C) and have encountered an issue. Currently, I’m not using a coverglass, and I have set the sensor to an 8x8 resolution with a frequency of 15 Hz.The problem is that when I run the sensor in an infinite lo...
Short range distance measurement to a point
I'm designing a custom LiDAR sensor for a project and I need a sensor to accurately measure the distance to a small point. I'm looking for an accuracy of +-5mm but the small the better, the maximum range it needs to measure is about 400mm and the min...
Resolved! How to use the driver parameter RangeMeanMilliMeter for VL53L3CX ranging?
Hello everyone, Recently I tried to use VL53L3CX to accomplish a distance calculating project. When referencing the document of VL53L3CX I found a little strange about the distance parameter. For example, the note of ranging capabilities ta...
Resolved! Moving from VL53L1CB to VL53L1X ULD API
I'm using the full API for the VL53L1 ToF sensor. The project is pretty simple as I'm using 4 sensor to measure distance connected on an I2C of an STM32F091.I'm optimizing the code and I'm come across the VL53L1X ULD API (Ultra Lite Driver Applicatio...
Resolved! vl53l1x Unexplained Distance change
Hi ST,Using the vl53l1x in our devices we are finding some cases of unexplained sensor distance changes. Large changes. We use the sensor in a contained/controlled environment. A bin -- the sensor is used to measure distance to items contained in t...
Unable to output data and failed to flash the board. (53L8A1)
The device does not output the data in a sudden. And it has no effect to press the RESET button. When I try to re-flash the board, the available memory of the flash only remains 8KB. Even the total memory is only shown as 32KB on PC, much less than t...
Resolved! Initial accuracy of VL6180X (i.e. after reflow)
Hi, We have a board featuring 5 VL6180X sensors and I noticed some oddities regarding the initial offset and scale in the latest production run:Some sensors are unable to measure any distance below 15mmThe ranging linearity between different sensors ...
Resolved! Best ToF sensor for liquid measurement
Hi!I've since given up on utilizing VL53L1X for liquid level measurement. @John E KVAM had previously reccomended me to use instead the VL53L4CD sensor for this sort of application (small recipients with water), and I plan to ship it next week. But I...
