VL53L1X Reading data
Hi,I can read the VL53L1X sensor data via i2c. But the values are not consistent when I keep my object from 1cm to 20cm the values are not accurate and not matching with the distance level.Regards,Kumar

about schematic for VL53L1X
Dear Sir,We will make our own PCB for VL53L1X application. There are some difference betweenVL53L1X breakout board schematic in UM2359 and VL53L1X schematic in the datasheet.In Figure3 of datasheet, pin 4, 6, and 12 are connected to ground directly....
Condensed humidity will affect Time-of-Flight sensors readings?
Hi. I want to measure the water level in an 1.5m height and 1200 litters container. A lot of condensation is created inside it. What if some water droplets are formed in the sensor input and output holes? Would this "water lenses" affect the readings...
Is there any way to know the basic control related commands of the VL53L5CXV0GC chip? Can't the st microelectronics customer technical support center help with this? If neither is possible, should I apply and use only the provided f/w for Eva Board?
I We purchased this sensor to apply it to our own board. I want to know the command to control the sensor on the board, but the data sheet only provides for simple i2c communication and address, index, and data structure.
Resolved! Help on issues found in VL53LX API v1.2.8?
I'm using the latest API version (1.2.8) available from the VL53L4CX product page.In my project I have implemented an interface to set configurations or run calibrations.I am also using this driver for both the VL53L4CD and VL53L4CX, since the driver...
Resolved! STSW-IMG035 Minimum Resource Requirements (DMIPS) on HOST MCU
Hi all,i'd like to know the typical resource requirements (mainly required computing power / DMIPS value) of running the TouchLessControl library (STSW-035) library on a host MCU. The GestureEVK-UM.pf mentions a typical RAM and FLASH footprint :I k...
Resolved! Gesture recognition on VL53L5CX?
I have read that ST will be releasing code to show how to do gesture recognition on the VL53L5CX, when is this due to be released?
Resolved! About Calibration order between Crosstalk calibration and Offset calibration
According to api Manuals, for VL53L0CX and VL53L1CX, Offset calibration should be performed before Crosstalk calibration, but for newer ToF sensors, such as VL53L3CX or VL53L1CB, it's said Crosstalk calibration should take place before Offset calib...
VL53L5CX: minimum size of an empty zone between 2 objects
Hi, I'd like to know what is the minimum size or gap between 2 objects the sensor is able to detect ? My first test shows a surface of 600 cm² seems to be the minimum, i.e a "hole" square of 25 cm x 25 cm or a rectangle of 20 x 30 cm.When I do the ma...
Can VL53L1X stand 3v3 when mounted to a custom pcb.. upfront w/o any 1v8 to 2v8 programming before hand?
Have a question about VL53L1XIn the vl53l1x.pdf, it says on page 23/35 that"The default driver mode is 1V8. 2V8 mode is programmable using device settings loaded by the driver. For more details please refer to the VL53L1X API user manual (UM2356)"W...
