Can XSHUT & GPIO pins in a multiple VL53L0X configuration handle 5V when interfaced to a 5V Microcontroller like Arduino Mega?

I see from this GY530 schematic that the module has level converters for the I2C lines, but not for GPIO & XSHUT lines. When using a 5V micro-controller like an Arduino UNO or MEGA to run multiple VL53L0Xs using XSHUT to configure addresses, will dr...

Difference between Long Distance Mode and Short DM - VL53L1X

What is the difference betwen Long DM and Short DM in terms of principle of operation?For example in ULD API for Short Distance Mode these registers are used:status = VL53L1_WrByte(dev, PHASECAL_CONFIG__TIMEOUT_MACROP, 0x14); status = VL53L1_WrByte(d...

I can't use VL53L1x sensor from other micro controller.Because there is no related document(s).Please help me about its registers init sequence and reading sequence to measure distance. Regards.

I can use this senser only together ST micro controller.Also its freeware APIs not enough for this purpose.I think ST must provide neccessary support about this subject without need anycustomer feed back.( Because VL53L1X is belong you )Regards.

Why am I getting VL53L0X Error: -6?

I have a single 'known good' VL53L0X hooked up to an Arduino Mega 2560 through a bidirectional level shifter. When I attempt to initialize it I get the following output:Opening port Port open Arduino Hex VL53L0X Demo In Adafruit_VL53L0X::begin(29,1,...

How to troubleshoot I2C bus sensor response problem?

I have a project where I am attempting to use six ST Microelectronics VL53L0X Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors grouped into two 3-element arrays for position/orientation sensing on an autonomous wall-following robot. I originally had both arrays installe...

Whats about the long term stability VL53L1X? Can it work for 30 years 24/7?

Hi,We're planning to use the sensor in an application with long live available.Are there data available?Regards,Kilian

LWOEI.1 asks: Hi Guys, a question here, i wonder if i install VL53l1X at shower room to detect falling , will it affected by steam or hot environment?

Sensor test with evaluation cards

I am currently in the process of doing a study on the VL53L0X, VL53L1X, VL6180X, VL6180 sensor I carry out distance and air gap tests on each sensor, the goal is to choose the ideal sensor to carry out proximity detection for the access control. So I...

Hello,in ST's documentation on tofs it is mentioned that ToF sensors provide us with precise answers regardless of the color of the target but I do not understand why we have several different results with gray white targets or black, can someone explain?
