Hello,the VL53L5CX is a really nice senor. I have done some measurements using the Windows GUI and was impressed, so I wanted to write a driver for the sensor and do some further evaluation.I then tried to initialize the sensor using the ULD-API and ...

The API has the function VL53LX_SetTuningParameter (VL53LX_DEV Dev, uint16_t TuningParameterId, int32_t TuningParameterValue) and there is a file vl53lx_tuning_parm_defaults.h, which contains defines for the TuningParameterId I guess. What I don't kn...

Hello, I am trying to set up a custom PCB with multiple sensors, including the VL53L3CX. As MCU, we are using the STM32G441KBU6, which seems to be too small for the bare driver API, and we did not find any acceptable alternative to the MCU. Is it pos...

The STM32F401 and the STM32L476 are both little endian. The function you mentioned is not included in the API, there is a SwapBuffer in platform.h, and vl53l5cx_dci_read_data, vl53l5cx_dci_write_data, and vl53l5cx_dci_replace_data in the api. I chang...

Update:I have it running using my Nucleo-L476RG,still nothing with the F401RE, however the data I am receiving seems to be wrong. E.g. in VL53L5CX_ResultsData I get values for nb_targets_detected greater than 4, which does not make any sense to me......

I took a close look at vl53l5cx_is_alive() and watched what happend in the debugger. The HAL_I2C_MasterTransmit gets called with correct values on the WrByte() in plattform. The function then fails at... line 1068 in stm32f4xx_hal_i2c.c /* Send Sla...

I took the example build it and ran it in CubeIDE using the debugger. It compiles and it 'runs'. The important part are lines 136 and 137ff:The status of the sensor is checked, and if it is not available, the example program returns with 255 and then...

Another update:I have two Nucleo-F401RE and one Nucleo-L476RG on my desk. It seems to work with the L476 but still nothing with both of the F401REs, except when I am using the GUI.

X-Nucleo 53L5A1 works fine with Windows GUI, but does not even init / is not alive using API

VL53L3CX Tuning Parameters: What do they do and to which values they have to be set?

Can the VL53L1X_ULD API be used with the VL53L3CX?
