Hi, i am a student using the VL53L0X time of flight sensor for a final project. I am having trouble getting the sensor data to settle the measured distance is very jumpy and out by 6 cm when measured with s ruler. how would i calibrate the sensor to stop jumping around and spit out the correct distance?. I am plotting distance vs time in MFC visual studios. the resolution of the sensor is + or - 1mm and i am out by 6cm.

Hello:

I am happy to work with you to solve your problem. please tell me more detail information about the specific hardware used and what version of driver is being used, or which version of GUI do you use?  In addition, I noticed that you measured with s ruler, can you briefly describe what this is. Perhaps I can set up a similar environment to check. Thanks.
