Posted on April 26, 2018 at 08:11Hi,Anyone know how to config VL53L1x to gesture recognition? In datasheet is information about support 1D gesture recognition, but nowere I cannot find information how to config it to gesture recognition and how to u...

Maximum cover window for VL53L1X/VL53L0X

Posted on March 28, 2018 at 16:07The previous proximity sensor VL53L0X has a application note (AN4907: VL53L0X ranging module cover window guidelines) that specifies the cover window thickness limits for different distances that can be measured.I wo...

Resolved! Which Sensor should I use?

Posted on April 08, 2018 at 08:59I need a sensor that is able to differentiate between distance 20mm and 23mm with no error.i.e. the accuracy and stability must be high (within 1mm only)which sensor should I use VL6180 or VL53L or something else?

VL53L1 underwater use / experiences?

Posted on April 24, 2018 at 13:46I understand the older vl6180x works underwater, but I could not find any information regarding the VL53L1. Anyone tried it? If so, how well does it work?I'm looking mainly for proximity detection / distance measurem...

Resolved! What is the base address of the VL6180X registers?

Posted on April 25, 2018 at 21:56Looking at the data sheet for the VL6180X (p49-50), the registers are listed with their 'offset' address.Does this mean I have to add a base address to the offset addresses? If so, where is that found in the document...
