Very unstable operation of the VL53L0X sensor. It can output 8191/8190 on the first run and output correct values on the second. Please any suggestions how to solve the problem?

Hello. I have problems with VL53L0X sensor. I will list my observations here.First, I carry out the calibration procedure. The sensor passes all initialization steps correctly (Data Init(), Static Init() and so on). Then calibration is performed. For...

VL53L5CX API Size "vl53l5cx_buffers.h" seems to be too large for the MCU to handle. Is splitting the buffers ( "VL53L5CX_FIRMWARE[]" )into smaller 'chunks' to send to the SPAD a reasonable solution?

I am trying to use the VL53L5CX with an AVR128DB48. The .h file "vl53l5cx_buffers.h" seems to be too large for the MCU to handle. I think, as it stands, it breaks the 32727 byte limit that AVR is capable of. Is splitting "VL53L5CX_FIRMWARE[]" into sm...

Increasing max FOV angle of latest VL5xxx sensors?

Enjoyed your nice presentation...We need almost hemispherical coverage (maybe 160+ degrees etc) for intrusion/prox detection;we are not power sensitive.Are there optical ways of increasing FOV of the latest 60+ degree FOV sensor to well beyond this F...

On the vl5VL53L5cx, the vl3l5cx_check_data_ready function,

 the expected results on the temp_buffer are: if((p_dev->temp_buffer[0] != p_dev->streamcount)            && (p_dev->temp_buffer[0] != (uint8_t)255)            && (p_dev->temp_buffer[1] == (uint8_t)0x5)            && ((p_dev->temp_buffer[2] & (uint8_...

Resolved! Understanding VL53L5CX Range statuses

If I point my VL53L5CX unit at the ceiling which I have measured to be 2.13m above my device, I get some readings that are status 5 of around 2100 mm and some readings that are status 255 of around 2100mm. Why is this the case? Because 2.1m is within...
