When I run the program, the sensor starts up and is working as expected. Occasionally, the sensor gets "stuck" and just sends the same ranging results. I read that the xshut pin is sensitive and can cause a partial reset of the sensor, putting it in ...
Hello, I'm using the LoRaWAN-End-Node example on an STM32WL55JC MCU to drive the VL53L4CD sensor. I would like to use the interrupt pin to get the data from the sensor.what is happening is that once __WFI() in the getting data subroutine is executed...
I'm trying to use the new example available on st.com for VL53L3CX_SimpleRanging (available inside X-CUBE-TOF1) is an example application shows how to make ranging with a satellite board (VL53L3CX-SATEL green) connected directly to STM32F401RE withou...
From the above FOV diagram comparison, under the Detection Volume, why both L5 and L8 have same Horizontal and Vertical degree but different degree in Diagonal (63˚ vs 65˚)?As I know if horizontal and vertical degree no change, the diagonal degree w...
The calibration procedure for a VL6180X sensor states that the offset calibration does not need to be done if the sensor is within +/- 3mm for a specified target. Is there every a situation in which the cross-talk calibration procedure doesn't need t...
I want to connect four SATEL-53L7CX ToF sensors to a Jetson Orin Nx with an AVerMedia D131 carrier board. The board has a 40-pin expansion header with two i2c buses.I have created a wiring diagram to connect every two sensors to each i2c bus. Each se...
Hi all, first post here!I'm working on a project that I was planning to use the VL53L5CX sensor where it is installed at about 5/6ft above the floor and pointed down at an angle of around 45°. The goal is to be able to calculate the surface of the f...
This is my very first post, so hello all! I got a VL53L5CX sensor from SparkFun and I've been playing around with it in the past few days - it seems to be surprisingly accurate and so far has exceeded my expectations.One thing I'm struggling with is...
Reason for asking is that I need to determine which it is as I would like to make use of the ROI capability of the VL53L1 and my understanding is this is not supported by the VL53L0 range. I have the SATEL eval boards, but can for the life of me not...
