If I point my VL53L5CX unit at the ceiling which I have measured to be 2.13m above my device, I get some readings that are status 5 of around 2100 mm and some readings that are status 255 of around 2100mm. Why is this the case? Because 2.1m is within...

Hi, I am trying to use the vl53l5cx_set_i2c_address() function in order to change the i2c address, but it keeps returning -2, or VL53L5CX_COMMS_ERROR from the following line in vl53l5cx_set_i2c_address(): status |= WrByte(&(p_dev->platform), 0x7fff, ...

Hi, I was trying to create a small 8x8 / 4x4 point cloud using a VL53L5CX sensor, and I can get the depth data for each zone, but I was wondering if there was a way to get x,y,z from this information? Like if there was a way to know the vertical and ...

Hi, I have followed the instructions in the PDF "VL53L5CX_Linux_Getting_started_with_Rpi.pdf" from the VL53L5CX linux driver, and I have built the program. I am having an issue now seeing the TOF sensor when I connect the VL53L5CX-SATEL board to the ...

Hi Peter, do you have any more ideas as to how to set the i2c address? Has anyone else been able to do so successfully yet?

After I get the comms error status from the set_i2c_address function, using i2cdetect on my raspberry pi I can indeed see that the i2c address of the VL53L5CX has changed to my intended value, I just am not able to communicate with it at that address...

Should set_i2c_address be called before or after VL53L5CX_init()? Currently I am doing it after.

Yes, right now I have only connected 1 VL53L5CX device to my i2c bus, and have LPn pulled high. The WrByte(&(p_dev->platform), 0x7fff, 0x02); in set_i2c_address still fails (returns 254), but I'm not sure exactly what it's doing. After the code fails...

Hi Peter, thanks for replying! If the VL53L5CX can't have it's i2c address changed, what does the vl53l5cx_set_i2c_address() function mentioned in the documentation and vl53l5cx_api.c file do? It refers to pulling down LPn pins of all other devices n...
