I have a VL6180X that I am running in continuous measurement mode and read from when a hardware interrupt is triggered by the senor. My issue is that I cannot get the sensor to signal at a rate of 100 Hz. Currently, the best I can achieve is 50 Hz.Ha...
Hi, I've testet four Time-of-Flight-Sensors of the type VL6180. The results were all different, for a distance of eg 30mm I got 23mm (Sensor1), 21mm (Sensor2), 16mm (Sensor3) and 32mm (Sensor4). The measurements all took place under the same conditio...
I'm using the VL53LX API 1.2.8 to interface with the VL53L4CD in firmware and I implemented a tuner page in my android app to visualize it.So far I have this thing ranging pretty well with +/- 1mm accuracy. Not bad!I'm measuring a permanent grey 3D p...
Dear Sir,We are going to make our own PCB after confirming the action with X-NUCLEO-53L1A1 module. We found the connection of pins 4, 6 12 in VL53L1X breakout board is different with the Figure3 (VL53L1Xschematic) . In Figure 3, pins 4, 6 and 12 ar...
Strange behavior of the VL53L0CXV0DH sensor.I get the correct data (distance to the obstacle), with a normal change in the position of the obstacle (zoom in / out), the data changes correctly and corresponds to the real distance.If the obstacle is sh...
It would be nice to state clearly in the datasheet what does 'range' means.This is actually not the distance between the sensor and the target, but the projection of this distance on the axis orthogonal to the plane of the sensor... (i;e. the height ...
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
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....
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...
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.
