Resolved! I'm confused about ST nomenclature for VL53L7CH
I want to try the VL53L7CH, I purchased the SATEL-VL53L7 and the x-nucleo-53l7A1. When I look at the boards on the SATEL-VL53L7 they look identical. But the description says it supports both the CX and CH models. Can someone clear this up?
VD55G0 Video mode
According to the UM2829 manual stating that it supports "SLAVE_I2C STREAMING on I²C pulses", I would like to ask whether this means that image data can be obtained via I2C like the VD55G1, or if it only refers to synchronization signals between image...
