Question about VL53L0X: "RangingMeasurementData.RangeMilliMeter" is always 0x1FFF = 8191
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...
ACK is not returned in I2C communication with VL53L8.
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...
VL53L1X noise and calibration
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...
Calculate x,y,z coordinates of each points of the VL53L5CX
Hello,I am trying to calculate the x,y,z coordinates of each points of the VL53L5CX sensor to determine the angle error between a surface and the plan of the sensor.I have two problem with my system :- the resulted error is not symmetrical with one r...
Resolved! Discrepancy Between 4x4 and 8x8 Resolution Distance Output
I am currently testing the VL53L7CX sensor(w/ vl53l5cx_api) with the STM32F7 MCU. The default resolution of 4x4, when running, would consistently return distances around 2.5 -3.0 meters with a target status code of 5 for multiple runs. I then tested ...
VL6180X set_register and get_register functions for PIC18F
Hello Everyone, I'm working on a project where I need to use the VL6180X sensor with the PIC18F. However, I could not adapt the set register and get register functions in Arduino to the PIC using CCS C. All I want from the experts here is to adapt th...
Resolved! About the dead time of VL53L8CH
I woulke to know the dead time of VL53L8CH to know the max value of one bin, but there is no information in the datasheet. Besides, currently I am using the example in VL53LMZ_MassMarket_ULD of cubeide to get the histogram, I want to know if the num...
Resolved! ID Register to differentiate VL53L0x, VL53L1x, etc
Hello! I am working on a project where I would like to be able to detect which type of sensor I have connected (via I2C). For example, I am currentky planning on using a VL53L0x, but would like to be able to detect on boot if I am still using the V...
Resolved! lens for receiver side of vl53l4cd
I need to measure a distance within a 1 degree field of view (FOV) in front of the sensor at a distance well within the range of the sensor. I know I can't use focusing optics on the emitter side without changing the laser class - so I won't. Using a...
