I'm trying to adapt the example code available on st.com for VL6180_SimpleRanging (STM32CubeExpansion_6180A1_V1.0.0 for STM32F401RE-Nucleo) so that the Bottom sensor is used, rather than the one soldered directly on the 6180XA1 expansion board (V2).M...

The tool is working (somehow) with a VL6180 soldered to the "Bottom" connector. I want to have a measurement every 2.5s, so I select Device "Bottom, tick "Continual" and enter "2500" for "Inter-Meas Period(ms). When I start the Ranging, the "Inter-Me...

Meanwhile it became clear, where the problem was. The sensor definitions in the sample code were mixed up. In the file STM32CubeExpansion_6180A1_V1.0.0\Drivers\BSP\6180A1\6180a1.h the left and the bottom sensor IDs were confused. Perhaps my sample co...

Thanks a lot for your answer, John. I only worked with the GUI so far (no own code) and can confirm, that 2.5s is possible. I let the sensor measure for 2.5h and found that when setting 2520 it is doing precisely what I wanted. I was just wondering ...

VL6180_SimpleRanging example using Bottom sensor

I'm using the STSW-IMG012 "P-NUCLEO-6180A1 pack PC graphical user interface" and a P-NUCLEO-6180A1 pack based on the STM32F401RE. I have tremendous problems setting up values such as "Inter-Meas Period" to 2.5s. The tool is constantly resetting them.
