No USB data using X-NUCLEO-53L8-A1 with a Nucleo Board

[thogat]

Hello, 

I try to get data from a X-NUCLEO-53L8-A1 board connected to a Nucleo board and visualize it in my computer. If I use the VL53L8CX Gui and connect my COM port and click on the start button, it is working well. However, I would like to get data outside of the app (ex: Tera Term or python script) but I do not have data available. I suppose that the sensor/board is waiting for "start" but I can not find any documentation on the subject. 

Can someone help me on the subject ?

Best regards

Hello @thogat ,

Are  you using latest version of X-CUBE-TOF1 ?

Hello @FBL ,

I tried to use the lastest version but I could not get any connection options on VL53L8CX_GUI as I could not see any COM port. So I used the button "Flash FW" and I manage to connect the board and get data on the app. On the other hand, I tried to connect to the COM port using Tera Term but no data were available.

Then, I flashed the lastest version of X-CUBE-TOF1 and I got the message :

"VL53L8A1_RANGING_SENSOR_In it failed Check you're using ONLY the center device soldered on the shield, NO satellite shall be connected !"
