Hello everyone,I’m evaluating ST ToF sensors (VL53L5CX / VL53L8CX) for an outdoor motion-tracking use case and would like to understand the general feasibility before investing in prototypes. Setup:A ToF sensor would be placed approximately at ankle ...
I was looking to wire these 2 items together to acquire a LiDAR 3d point cloud data set for a research project im working. I wanted to get some input, feedback and guidance on utilizing this hardware for LiDAR 3d point clouds? VL53L8CHV0GCP-NUCLEO-53...
Hi, I asked for help because my measurements took >> 15 seconds (up to 30s) in:https://community.st.com/t5/imaging-sensors/vl53l1-measurement-takes-up-to-30-seconds/td-p/843640Now after hours of debugging i found a bug in the API at least for platfor...
Heya, Is it possible to see the background light (intensity/histogram) without actually transmitting, using a VL53L8 or VL53L9?We don't want to measure the distance to objects. We just want to be able to use the SPAD array to get histogram for each ...
What's the difference between the following sensor variants:VL53L7CHVL53L7CXFrom what I've seen from going through the available product documents, they are all the same, performance-wise (range, frequency, FoV etc).Difference between the CH and CX s...
The Ultra Light Driver (STSW-IMG023) init function vl53l5cx_init() fails in this section :/* Get offset NVM data and store them into the offset buffer */ status |= WrMulti(&(p_dev->platform), 0x2fd8, (uint8_t*)VL53L5CX_GET_NVM_CMD, sizeof(VL53...
Hi ST Support,A few datasheets for the BrightSense series, eg. um3224, show an option under CFG: Streaming readout mode control which is not precisely described in the documentation."-0x06: = XY binning x2"How does this differ from "-0x01: = digital ...
Hello, I am working on a project using an AVR64DB32 MCU and the VL53L1 time-of-flight sensor over I2C.I downloaded the official API from ST (STSW-IMG007) and adapted vl53l1_platform.c to my environment.Since my I2C communication library is written in...
Hi, I use 2 VL53L1 Sensoren via I2C for measuring distance. At first I used a raspberry pi and the provided API and it seems to work properly and all fine. Since I need to reduce my power consumption I migrated my Code to an atmega644 and therfore I ...
Hello, I have a FUNDAMENTAL question: TOF VL53 series sensors report a depth map. Is the depth the "Euclidean distance from the origin (0, 0, 0) to the point (X,Y,Z)" ? or is the orthogonal distance from the camera chip plane to the measured point a...
