In the search for a distance senor which can sample at highest rate. Given the constraint of a measurement range <1m and accuracy of relative distance changes in the low mm range. Ideally we could get a sampling rate of 1kHz.
The VL53L4 sensors would be priced quite reasonable, but I am afraid the sampling rate will not be sufficient to track the movement of our object.
Also, is my understanding correct that at he the same accuracy the VL53L4CX should result at twice the rate of returned distance measurements compared to the VL53L4CD. Due to the way how the A/B measurement results are combined. I.e. only one new A(or B) measurement taken and the other value used from before. The VL53L4xD directly returns the distance so I assume it can't be configured in a similar way or could it?
I have found a non ST part that could match our requirements, so I'm wondering if ST has any upcoming part with a higher sampling rate in the pipeline as well.
