I am currently working with the P-NUCLEO53L1A1 evaluation kit for the VL53L1X sensor and have encountered some technical questions. I would appreciate your insights.
From the official documentation, I understand that SignalRateRtnMegaCps represents the target reflectivity, while AmbientRateRtnMegaCps indicates ambient light intensity. I plan to use these parameters for imaging purposes but have been unable to find detailed information on their acquisition principles in the API documentation or related materials.
I have reviewed the datasheet, application notes, and online resources, but most available content only covers basic introductions and simple use cases rather than in-depth explanations of the internal signal processing methods.
My current understanding is that the sensor emits laser pulses and measures the returned signal. SignalRateRtnMegaCps likely corresponds to the strength of the reflected signal, while AmbientRateRtnMegaCps may represent ambient light detection. However, I lack clarity on how the sensor distinguishes and processes these signals internally.
Could you please share any technical details or documentation regarding the acquisition principles of these two parameters? Any advice or experience related to implementing imaging functionality would also be greatly appreciated.
