I can see from the datasheets (VL53L4CD for example) that the emitter and sensor volume is represented as two cones that start at the sensor face and grow bigger as the distance from the sensor increases.If I am measuring the distance to a target tha...
I'm a little frustrated that there isn't a "Here's ST's Time of Flight sensor offering and which sensors have which features" kind of page. The sensor datasheets themselves also do not give any real comparison data to other (pin compatible) parts.Fro...
Hi,I am trying to find a low power solution for close range (down to 1mm) proximity detection at 1Hz frequency. It seems VL53L4CD can do the job pretty good but I didn't find power consumption details of low power mode in the datasheet.I also found t...
I see from the datasheet that the indoor measurement accuracy at 1-100mm is +/-7mm. I’d like to use the sensor to measure the deflection of a piece of stainless steel, which is used as part of an actuator to hold an object still for measurement. Basi...
The datasheet shows VL53L0X has 25 degrees of FOV. However each VL53L0X shows slightly different FOV.For example, one VL53L0X seems to be 24 degrees, another VL53L0X seems to be 26 degrees.What is the FOV range of VL53L0X?If possible, I hope to maxim...
Hello.I am using the VL53L1.It's fine for indoor lighting.However, in sunlight, the measurable distance becomes shorter.Is there any way to test it similar to this sunlight?Could you please tell me how to test it in relation to sunlight?thank you.
I have used VL53L0X without using VL53L0X_SetReferenceSpads() and VL53L0X_GetReferenceSpads(). The VL53L0X are working well without using them. I found out that some VL53L0Xs have narrower FOV than others and that VL53L0X_SetReferenceSpads() and VL53...
I would also like to clarify whether there is support for the multi-zone VL53L3CX sensor? Do you have code samples or libraries for tap / double-tap detection using VL53L3CX?
