I just wanted to check the validity of an old post from 2022.The VL53L8CX, like other TOF devices returns a 8x8 grid of distances.The distances are tuned, so if a flat surface for example a wall is directly in front of the sensor (sensor is facing th...
I am looking to purchase an evaluation board for the VL53L8CH in order to take advantage of the CNH data for potential use in AI models.The below expansion board web page has the below text (Link below) Time-of-Flight expansion board based on the VL5...
Hello,I've been working with a SATEL-VL53L8 sensor for a while. For this I've used the L4RZI board and now i moved into the nRF52 board for more tests.I've been having trouble trying to implement this. I've tried to use the VL53L0 configuration, (CON...
Hello everyone,I just received my X-Nucleo-53L7A1 board and I'm trying to get it working with my Nucleo-F429ZI. In CubeMX,I've selected my board and the appropriate software pack. For the pin configuration, I followed the example provided for the Nuc...
Hello,We are using the VL53L1 sensor in autonomous mode to range data, mostly indoors but sometimes outdoor.Following the Table 3 in UM2133, we use the short distance mode in order to have better ambient light immunity when outdoors.However, in the A...
I have used the VL53LCX Linux driver to operate the ToF sensor on the IMX8M Nano board, and the Linux driver is functioning correctly. However, I am encountering issues with implementing gesture recognition functionality. I have used the gesture reco...
Hi all, What is the part to part variation of ST VL6180 ToF sensor? During testing, we keep the sensor at a distance of 50mm from a retro reflector tape. In a batch of 50 sensors, the readout was from ~ 37 mm to ~51 mm (expected readout is 5...
Hi allI have successfully implemented a single vl53l0x sensor, but wish to add more. I found the "AN4846 Application note Using multiple VL53L0X in a single design" documentation:https://www.st.com/content/ccc/resource/technical/document/application_...
Hello, We've been developing a tank level monitoring system using these sensors: VL53L4CD (18° FoV)VL53L3CX (25° FoV, multitarget)VL53L4CX (18° FoV, multiobject, multitarget) First question is the definitions and distinctions between the terms multiz...
Hi there, I read this document and it mentioned that the function "vl53l8cx_set_VHV_repeat_count" can be used to compensate for the ranging error caused by temperature. I would like to know the principle of VHV calibration compensation. Is it relat...
