Hi there, we recently purchased the VL53L8CH and are hoping to take advantage of its advanced capabilities for use in a small embedded product (without having to use a desktop GUI or large ST expansion board).
Can you tell us more about the advanced AI applications (sensing solid materials like glass vs ceramic, sensing liquids, gesture motion detection, hand posture)?
What exactly is the "AI enabler" in this package and do you have software we can review or explanations of how these functions work?
I read about the coffee cup application here (rim and fill level detection): https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_presentation/26oct2023-artificial-intelligence-enabler-time-of-flight-sensors-with-cnh-data.pdf and also read MZ “CH” Product Training - Part 1 and 2.
The STSW-IMG043 Python scripts don't seem to implement these advanced features. Is that the place to look, or maybe the STSW-IMG035 Turnkey solution (reverse engineering for an embedded solution rather than a desktop GUI)?
Thanks so much!
