Generate interrupt with VL6180 while MCU is sleeping

EDIT: Figured it out, I had to run the VL6180 in continuous mode.I'm using a VL6180 for hand detection. I've successfully set up the interrupt at a certain range and it works nicely when the MCU is running. When the MCU is not running (aka not pollin...

Element-to-element interference using 3-element VL53L0X array?

I'm using a linear array of 3ea VL53L0X sensors to orient a robot with respect to a nearby wall. The assumption is that when all three sensors return the same distance, then the robot is parallel to the wall. The sensors are mounted on a PCB with a ...

Resolved! I'm getting faulty data from my vl53l5cx.

Most of the target status seem to return 5 but some do return 255.The data is correct on all 64pixels when I have a near object (200mm) but it cannot detect further objects like the ceiling and instead it will return a seemingly random small distance...
