vl53l0x in continue and Time mode

[zhy]

Hi,

       vl53l0x in continue mode ,how to read data_status and in time mode how to set time and read data and data_status?

              thanks

Which function and where to call it, or do you need to check the data correctness for both patterns?

Hi 

For 53L0X, it can either works in continuous mode or Continuous Timed Ranging mode, you can set the ranging mode by VL53L0X_SetDeviceMode()

and bout timing seting,

• timing budget, you can set by VL53L0X_SetMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds()
• if your prefer timed mode, you also need to set inter measurement time by VL53L0X_SetInterMeasurementPeriodMilliSeconds()

once measuring is done and data is ready, you can read out the data by VL53L0X_GetRangingMeasurementData().

Hi，

  I only see a single measurement with VL53L0X_GetRangingMeasurementData(),and continue mode not find

Hi 

About continuous mode, it is same as single short, it needs to use   VL53L0X_GetRangingMeasurementData(pDev, &RangingMeasurementData) to read out all the data. 

About overall ranging flow, please refer page 12 of the SW UM VL53L0X API User_Manual.fm
