STSW-IMG037 is not work with Breakout Board

[k_kondoh]

I try  STSW-IMG037 software with  Nucleo STM32-F401RE + Expansion board with VL53L7CX+ two Brakout Boards(VL53L7CX).but it dosen't work. STSW-IMG037 software with  Nucleo STM32-F401RE + Expansion board with VL53L7CX is OK.Soft ver v2.2.29327. and 53L7A1_MultiSensorRanging.bin in X-CUBE-TOF1 is OK.What should I do?

The VL53L7CX has fix I2C address , so how you manage, to access only one after the other, not both same time ?

You could select one with its LPn line -> hi , others lo .

STSW-IMG037 GUI soft can control  three VL53L7CXs in user manual .In user manual GUI soft has select sensor list box. but My soft has non. LPn lines are another port of STM32-F401RE. Another soft(53L7A1_MultiSensorRanging.bin in X-CUBE-TOF1) is OK.This Problem is only STSW-IMG037 GUI soft.

The GUI is supposed to be able to control 3 sensors - but not at the same time. Did you find the sensor setting on the device control panel?

8 down from the top is where you set it. 

I don't have an L7 and two satellites, Or I'd try it. 

Let me know if it's a question of not seeing the setting or if it really doesn't work. 

then I can have someone look at it.

I think I see. 

In order to control 3 L7's you are going to need to get them on different addresses - and they all start at address 52. 

(Note Address 0x29 is the 7-bit address. One shifts that left 1 bit to get the Write address (0x52). Set that LSBit to get address the read address -0x53. It's confusing. Sorry about that)

So start with all 3 sensors with their LPn lines low. Lift one of the LPn lines wait until it's booted and then issue the 'change address command'. Move the address to something like 0x62. Then lift the next LPn and set it to something like 0x72 and repeat for the last sensor - 0x82. Make sure to use even addresses as the odds are the read addresses.

Now all your sensors have different addresses, and you can carry on.  In our software it will help to have an array of 3 Dev (device structures). Make sure to put the new addresses in the Dev structures.

You are correct. The L7 GUI code was modified to remove the option for satellite boards. It was a mistake.

I will have it fixed as fast as possible.
