I am using the VL53L5CX to measure the water level of a sewer tank. More info about geometry setup and environment further down or here.I need to range from 0.5 to 2 meters and am also dependent on further lateral measurements than just the center sp...
"I'm using the VL53L8CX sensor, the en.X-CUBE-TOF1 example, specifically from NUCLE -F401RE\Examples\53L8A1\53L8A1_SimpleRanging. The data reads correctly,and I have verified the outputs. However, when the INT pin goes low and triggers an interrupt, ...
Does the ambient value affect the distance measurements in the VL53L8CX, or are both parameters independent of each other?
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...
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...
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;/*!...
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...
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...
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?
Hello. I'm a newbie to stm32 or actually to everything.I am using VL53L0X sensor and STM32F030C8T6 MCU in stm32idecube.What I want to do is to get a good reading of the sensor data.And I want to use a timer interrupt to read the sensor data every cer...
