Hi everyone,I’m working with the VL53L0X sensor and I noticed that when it starts ranging, the supply voltage (of my board with the VL53L0X, the Vcc pin) drops from 3.389 V down to 2.544 V.In this setup, the VL53L0X is powered from the 3.3 V pin of a...
Hi,Currently, we are testing vl53l8cxv0gc/1 by placing an object in front and moving it and reading the values. Is there a way to test the functionality of vl53l8cxv0gc/1 in a production environment? Is there a self test mechanism for this sensor?Tha...
Hi, I'm trying the VL53L7CX sensor for a prototype and I'm trying the example codes provided within this page https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-img036.html I'm experimenting the Example_10_motion_indicator and I'm able to display the "mot...
Hi everyone,I’m currently using the VL53L0X sensor to measure the liquid level inside a container, and I have a question regarding the offset calibration procedure described in the documentation.Is it really necessary to perform the offset calibratio...
Hello,I have been using the this ToF sensor along an ESP32-WROOM MCU for a while without major issues. My impementation of the i2c interface seems to be working well since in most simple ranging cases everything works well.However, recently, i have b...
On page 9 of https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/vl53l1x.pdf, it is written:"Ranging is continuous, with a programmable delay between two ranging operations (called anintermeasurement period)"This is wrong. It should be:"Ranging is continuous, w...
Hello ST Brightsense Team,Would like to know if the VD66GY Linux driver (STSW-IMG503_V4L2) will work on an NXP IMX8M Mini (no hardware ISP) ? If not will it work with the IMX8M Mini Plus (with Hardware ISP).Currently using the STEVAL-66GYMAI.In the ...
Hello, I am having a hard time finding which software pack this file vl53l8cx_def.h is in? I think once I get that I should be get the zones if Im understanding the error correctly. Please advise. If it helps with the solution I am trying to use t...
I need to cut off all the power supplys of VL53L8 to save power. Does the firmware need to be re-downloaded every time the device is powered on? loading firmware is in the function uint8_t vl53lmz_init( VL53LMZ_Configuration *p_dev)
Hi everyone,I'm working with the VL53L0X sensor and have a couple of questions:Does noise affect the sensor's measurements? Does the sensor include a checksum or mechanism to verify the integrity of I2C messages? Can adding capacitors to the I2C bus ...
