Hello, I have started working with the VL53L5CX ToF sensor, for 3d scanning. I have successfully interfaced the sensor with MCU and am able to read the data from it. I have read the datasheet and um2884 user manual as well which explains the differen...
Hello,I'm currently working with the VL53L5CX sensor and I came across the following definition in the header files of the API provided by ST : #define VL53L5CX_STATUS_CRC_CSUM_FAILED ((uint8_t) 3U)However, this constant doesn’t seem to be used anywh...
Hi,is there a way to distinguish both mentioned sensors other than by complex optical measurements (they have different FOVs)? We have built devices with both types of sensors and our firmware calculates x/y/z coordinates from the reported distances ...
Hi All,I see two order codes for the VL53L5CX: VL53L5CXV0GC/1 (with liner) VL53L5CXV9GC/1 (without liner) The datasheet says the liner must be removed before mounting the cover glass, but it’s not clear when the liner version is required.Could any...
Hi,We are trying to mount the VL537CX ToF(Pololu) sensor on roof of a car and map a certain area of the cabin. The sensor is pointed downwards.But we are observing the a pattern flashing (appearing for a single frame of ToF data) at an interval varyi...
Hello,I have already use VL53L0X sensor provided by AZ-Delivery.My main problem is that I2C address can be changed but NOT permanently.I am looking to "Adafruit VL53L4CX Time of Flight Sensor". But I don't want to discover the same problem, that is I...
Does the ambient value affect the distance measurements in the VL53L8CX, or are both parameters independent of each other?
Dear ST,The VL53L8CH's example codes have demonstrated how the sensor can be controlled through set of APIs. However I am still not very sure about how can I switch between different working modes on-the-fly during runtime.For example, assume I have ...
Hello Everyone ! I would like to know if it is possible to measure ambient light levels either directly or indirectly , using the VL53L8CX sensor. Thank you in advance
I am currently working with the P-NUCLEO53L1A1 evaluation kit for the VL53L1X sensor and have encountered some technical questions. I would appreciate your insights.From the official documentation, I understand that SignalRateRtnMegaCps represents th...
