Sometimes VL6180 is not recognized the object (feat. drift)

Hi ST team,

I'm developing the device which is using VL6180. 

Sometimes ToF(VL6180) is not recognized the object. 

And sometimes it is not recognized first and then becomes recognized again. But I don't know why this happened. 

I'm trying to find the reason but kept failing.

My question's are..

1. Could this phenomenon(1. not recognized 2. not recognized first and then becomes recognized again) occur when repeatedly recognizing a very short distance (<10mm) due to drift? 

According to the datasheet, drift is affected by temperature and voltage. But there is no mention about repeated recognizing. That's why I'm asking.

2. Or is there something suspicious that could be causing this phenomenon?

- In terms of hardware, software, and mechanical aspects

 

Thank you
