Imaging (sensors)

Hello ST, I'm trying to read the distance with vl6180x, but this measures 5mm from a phisical distance of 170mm less than this value I get error 12, and for distances greater than 300 millimeters approximately I get error 7, 6, 11. How can I calibrate it?

Reading distances with VL6180X on the workflow of one shot measurement "Wait for range measurement to complete" SYSTEM__INTERRUPT_CONFIG_GPIO it don't comes set never. what can be the reason?

VL6180X measurement never ready

Using the VL6180X sensor with default initial configuration found in the documentation (chapter 2.1), the measurement task remains stuck waiting for the measurement bit to be set on the 0x4F register (measurement ready).The bit seems to never be set.

Multiple sensors sharing the same I2C bus

Hi!I have an automation project that requires a large number of sensors (up to 30). All sensors have digital outputs and use the I2C communication protocol. I would like to know if it is possible to have all the sensors sharing the same I2C bus. If s...

Does the VL53L5CX need to download firmware every time?

In vl53l5cx_init, the sensor sends the `VL53L5CX_FIRMWARE` data to the sensor. This means the main application MCU needs to store the ~80kB+ in its data. Can this be modified so the firmware is downloaded only a single time, so there is less memory o...

Changing VL53L5CX i2c address?

Hi, I am trying to use the vl53l5cx_set_i2c_address() function in order to change the i2c address, but it keeps returning -2, or VL53L5CX_COMMS_ERROR from the following line in vl53l5cx_set_i2c_address(): status |= WrByte(&(p_dev->platform), 0x7fff, ...

Could you explain the working principle of motion indicator on VL53L5CX?
