Hi all, it's me again. Close readers of this forum may remember I have a cluster of 5 VL53L4CX sensors that are attempting to range humans at an ideal distance of about 1.5-2m. I think I've successfully managed to avoid interference between the 5 sensors. I expect the data to be bit noisy from ambient light and moving humans, but I'm also trying to optimize, and starting to play with the huge number of Tuning Parameters available. I'm ok trading off latency for accuracy, especially at this long range.
A specifc question though:
some of my sensors are reporting a fair number of RangeStatus 4, 7, and sometimes 12.
4: VL53LX_RANGESTATUS_OUTOFBOUNDS_FAIL
Raised when range result is out of bounds
7: VL53LX_RANGESTATUS_WRAP_TARGET_FAIL
Wraparound occurred
12: VL53LX_RANGESTATUS_TARGET_PRESENT_LACK_OF_SIGNAL
Indicate that there is a target, but signal is too low to report ranging
I've finally got a setup that I can use to test tuning parameters, so I'm open to suggestions for optimizing my system.
Thanks, all, and especially @John_Kvam for your insights!
