VL53L4CD getting "stuck" returning the same value

When I run the program, the sensor starts up and is working as expected. Occasionally, the sensor gets "stuck" and just sends the same ranging results. I read that the xshut pin is sensitive and can cause a partial reset of the sensor, putting it in ...

LoRaWAN-End-Node + VL53L4CD, Sleep issue

Hello, I'm using the LoRaWAN-End-Node example on an STM32WL55JC MCU to drive the VL53L4CD sensor.  I would like to use the interrupt pin to get the data from the sensor.what is happening is that once __WFI() in the getting data subroutine is executed...

Does the cross-talk calibration on a VL6180X sensor always need to be performed?

The calibration procedure for a VL6180X sensor states that the offset calibration does not need to be done if the sensor is within +/- 3mm for a specified target. Is there every a situation in which the cross-talk calibration procedure doesn't need t...

I did the calibration on offset on VL53L1X. Then get the offset value by calling getOffset() which is 1336. Use that in setOffset() in subsequent measurement. xTalk gives 15912. Cal distance used is 0.97m. But normal ranging at 2m is all wrong. Why?

Can the VL53L5CX work with a non-perpendicular surface?

Hi all, first post here!I'm working on a project that I was planning to use the VL53L5CX sensor where it is installed at about 5/6ft above the floor and pointed down at an angle of around 45°. The goal is to be able to calculate the surface of the f...

FoV and Zone Area for VL53L5CX ToF Sensors?

This is my very first post, so hello all! I got a VL53L5CX sensor from SparkFun and I've been playing around with it in the past few days - it seems to be surprisingly accurate and so far has exceeded my expectations.One thing I'm struggling with is...
