Resolved! Source available for STSW-IMG041 Device Code ?
Hi,I would like to know if the STSW-IMG041 code that is flashed into the device is available somewhere. My goal would be to use the same code but on a custom board to verify that the sensor is working properly.Thank you!
Resolved! Regarding the issue where the ULD API of vl53l1x fails to obtain the ranging result
I wrote the i2c communication code for the vl53l1x ULD API in vl53l1_platform.c and i2c32.c, and called the API in tof.c to initialize vl53l1. The VL53L1X_GetSensorId function can correctly read 0xEACC, but the VL53L1X_CheckForDataReady function alwa...
Resolved! NUCLEO C09RC-B03 and X-Nucleo 53lxA1
Hello everyone, I would like to know if someone has ever tried to couple those two hardware components together?I am currently using the STM32C092RC board to build an FD-CAN network, and I would like to exchange some real data — or more explicitly, t...
VL53L7CHV0GC driver not working properly
Hi everyone,I’m having issues with the VL53L7CHV0GC ToF sensor drivers on Linux. The kernel module loads fine, but I can’t read any data using the userspace part. When I try to use the driver completely in userspace mode, it reports that it can’t fin...
VL53L8 application help, looking specifically at delta between data sets
Hello community,I'm new to using this sensor, but based on some initial testing I'm hoping it's a good fit for my application. I was hoping to get some general opinions/guidance on the approach I'm planning, so any tips/feedback are greatly appreciat...
Resolved! Using Smart Prescence Detection Software with SATEL-VL53LB to Nucleo-53L8A1A
I have broken the SATEL-VL53L8 into its small PCB form and have connected it with flying wires (about a foot in length) to the NUCLEO-53L8A1A breakout board. It is wired in the I2C configuration and the J9 connector is also set to I2C.When I open up ...
Resolved! Choice of ToF VL53
Hi All, I've been using the VL53L1 sensor for drone height control, and the results have been quite good- however, the environment it is used in has plastic skylights with poor IR blocking. This causes unstable readings in direct sunlight. Some of th...
VD6283TX45/1
Hello, I am using the VD6283TX45/1 to develop a device and now have a question to consult. Due to my insufficiently careful reading of the data sheet during the initial design phase, I connected the I2C pins of this device to an I2C bus where the pul...
VL53L4CD emitted optical power value
Has anyone seen documentation or done optical power measurements for VL53L4CD? I’m trying to find the radiant energy or optical power output of this low power time-of-flight device. (I only succeed to find a graph showing the relative emitted power i...
