Hello,I am using a VL53L8CX sensor in 8x8 mode. There is a thing that is unclear to me from the documentation, so I need a clarification. A value in the zone Z of the matrix I get from the ToF sensor is:a) Distance between the object in the zone Z an...

Hello everybody,I have connected a SATEL-VL53L8 board to my ESP32, and I am trying to run the basic ranging example, using ULD driver. When I run the example, I get VL53L8CX ULD Loading failed in the serial terminal. Trying to figure out what's wrong...

Hi everybody,I have purchased SATEL-VL53L8 package containing 2 breakout boards with VL53L8 ToF ranging sensor, and I encountered a peculiar hardware issue. A breakout board has been connected to an ESP32 dev board (3.3V logic level). I have been try...

Dear John,Thank you for your quick response. So, if I understood it correctly, although the sensor measures radial distances, the FW inside the sensor performs the conversion to perpendicular, effectively giving us option b? This would be in accordan...

The clock frequency was 250kHz previously, now it's 1MHz, but still to no avail.If I'm not mistaken, this sequence should read the FW checksum, and the value is 0x00000000.I'm running out of ideas at this point...

Hi John, and thanks for your answer.Actually, it's using SPI communication. As far as I can see from the logic analyzer, the size of the code chunks is not an issue, and the values sent correspond to those in the VL53L8CX_FIRMWARE lookup table. Unfor...

Hello Anne,EXT_PWR_EN is now connected to 5V, but everything else remains the same.Kind regards

Dear Anne,For the testing, I have paused in the middle of an SPI transaction, so that I can measure voltage values:This is the diagram showing the connections in green. In blue, you can see the measured voltages which are as expected, and in red we h...
