Controling INT PIN on VL53L7CX

MŻbik.1 · ‎2023-08-28

Hi everyone!

I have a not conventional question to this device. INT pin is used in library to send interrupt to MCU. In my case i use just necessary part of library so the INT pin is not used at all.

So now the question. Is it possible to use it now the way i want it to? For example there is a register i can change so the state of INT pin will also change?

You don't have to do anything to the interrupt pin. You can poll sensor, asking the question, "Are you done yet?" And the sensor will tell you. The fact that the Interrupt pin rises at the same time can be ignored.

Thank you for this answer though it's not the topic of my qestion.

Can i use INT PIN as GPIO that i'm controlling? for example turn on and off simple LED?

Hello,
INT pin can not be used for anything else than what it has been programmed by the FW for.
So no way to use it to turn on and off a simple LED using the INT pin.
