Hey,I have a custom made board/device which is using 4x VL53L4CD Tof Sensors to measure the distance. I have trouble to calibrate the sensors correctly or get correct values from them from time to time. Sometimes it works well - sometimes it does not...
I've been trying to get my VL53L3CX to communicate with my ESP32-S3. I'm using esp-idf and ported https://github.com/stm32duino/VL53L3CX by rewriting the I2C and GPIO code for esp-idf. As far as I can tell, I'm successfully communicating with the VL5...
Hello,We received an EOL status notification for our current sensor VL6180 and I found the VL53L4CD as a substitute for this TOF proximity sensor. We would like to know how long this device will be active, as the VL6180 is now on EOL.Can you also con...
I am looking for the shortest library for the vl53lox. I am using the b-l475e-iot01a1 board and i just need some measures on the vl53lox.I look on github but there are just a lot of files so I would like to know if a less heavy approach exist . Furt...
Hi Team, I have P-Nucleo-53L8A1 EVK. This board is connected to PC via micro USB cable. LD1 and LD3 LED's are ON and are red in color. I am trying to use VL53L8CX GUI , but its showing at About window as attached. 'Update ST-Link ' process trie...
Hi, I ran into a weird issue initializing a VL53L8CX over SPI where the firmware was seemingly failing to load correctly (the firmware checksum was wrong, and trying to read back some of the firmware from the sensor showed that it didn't match the da...
Do you have an example of SPI communication with VL53L8CX ?
HelloI have a question about distance measuring with VL53L0:Execution of initialization functions seem to work (all returning VL53L0X_ERROR_NONE):if ( VL53L0X_DataInit( Dev ) != VL53L0X_ERROR_NONE ) return false;if ( VL53L0X_StaticInit( Dev ) != VL53...
When performing I2C communication from the MCPU on a board that independently implements VL53L8, there is no ACK from VL53L8 at the first address transmission, resulting in an error. If you check the LPn, SCL, and SDA signals, you can see the start c...
Hello,I'm using the VL53L1CB sensor to detect objects from a long distance. Unfortunately, I can't always guarantee ideal working conditions. Sometimes, there are objects (structural elements) within the detection area that cannot be removed. Their p...
