I'm trying to measure distance in a very dark environment. I'm using long-range distance mode. Suddenly, the sensor started sending error 4. What can cause this and how to fix it?Fixed, caused by an issue in the code.
Hi TeamI want to know the Industry standards to which the VL53L5CX was designed. If you have relevant information, can you share it with me? It is important for me. Thank you!
Thank you so much for seeing my question!We are developing a product and intend to use this sensor. Since the end product is used outdoors in Europe, we did some simulation experiments, but found that when the ambient temperature drops from 20 degree...
I'm using a VL53L1X ToF sensor to measure distance with the Ultra Lite driver. I've lowered the signal threshold to 400 because that value seems to cover most valid measurements. When I read the current signal value using GetSignalRate(). When my sig...
The datasheet says the maximum ranging frequency's for VL53L5CXV0GC/1 are 60Hz at 4x4 15Hz at 8x8But the firmware allows for example perfectly 100Hz at 4x4 by setting this value with vl53l5cx_set_ranging_frequency_hz().I also can see the sensor is re...
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...
Hello,I have a problem with VL53L3 sensor measurements. When sunlight hits the sensor, the measurement is distorted, and the measured distance becomes small. Are there any settings for the sensor to remove this glitch when the sun's rays hit?
I wanted to insert a ToF sensor (VL53L4CD) in an anesthetic container, I tried to measure with the sensor water level and that works well and can be measured with it, but I tried to measure with the sensor volatils anestethiks (isoflurane) and unfort...
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 ...
