Which sensors can be chosen for liquid level monitoring?
Other sensors than the VL53L4CD and VL53L5CX presented during the
webinar can be used (VL53L0X, VL53L3CX), but performances are not as good as VL53L4CD. Example code, API, and drivers have to be adapted. VL53L5CX gives better performances than VL53L4CD due to multizone.
Are the sensors Class 1 laser devices or higher? Any regulations/safety concerns?
Yes, they are class1.
What is the wavelength of the laser light?
The wavelength is 940 nm.
Are these ToF sensors reliable?
Under normal conditions, they should work for years.
