Environment: Arduino, STM32F1, ESP32
I2CScanner told me a device has the address #29
Your default address in the sample code is #12
Software: VL53L1_Sat_Helloworld Example
changes:
- DEV_I2C.begin(23, 22); // I2C 1: SDA, SCL
- sensor_vl53l1_sat.InitSensor(0x29);
- VL53L1 sensor_vl53l1_sat(&DEV_I2C, 5); // XSHUT pin
The do - while loop never will be finished, resp. the LED will never switched on.
The I tested the code with a lot of I2C address scans; start with 29 and in the while loop the I2C code is #09 #0A #14, depending on the start.
I have added a BME280 Sensor, which is absolute stable
I dropped the Clock frequency to 100kHz.
I tested all with ESP32 and STM32F1 Bluepill. Both CPU platforms must be supported in the future.
I tested all already with the VL53L1X, and an adaption its Setup and loop, which worked immediately.
I took the pure chip and solder it onto header and checked it. No result. I'havent stepped into the software driver much. I thought the samples must run first (as all my past sensors are working).
Where can the problem be with this specific sensor?
Thank you
