I'm using several VL53L7CX sensors in a robotics application. They work well except for when a retroreflective surface is present, which blinds the entire sensor, including SPADs not pointed at the retroreflective surface. A large retroreflective a...
Hi, Was wondering if there is any info on when the VL53L9CX is expected to be released? Regards
Hi ST Support. The VB1940 camera has IR smart upscale.I think IR smart upscale separates only the IR data from RGBNIR and compensates for any missing data.Is there a way to send IR data without interpolating this missing data (without changing the im...
Hello everyone,I’m evaluating ST ToF sensors (VL53L5CX / VL53L8CX) for an outdoor motion-tracking use case and would like to understand the general feasibility before investing in prototypes. Setup:A ToF sensor would be placed approximately at ankle ...
I was looking to wire these 2 items together to acquire a LiDAR 3d point cloud data set for a research project im working. I wanted to get some input, feedback and guidance on utilizing this hardware for LiDAR 3d point clouds? VL53L8CHV0GCP-NUCLEO-53...
Hi, I asked for help because my measurements took >> 15 seconds (up to 30s) in:https://community.st.com/t5/imaging-sensors/vl53l1-measurement-takes-up-to-30-seconds/td-p/843640Now after hours of debugging i found a bug in the API at least for platfor...
Heya, Is it possible to see the background light (intensity/histogram) without actually transmitting, using a VL53L8 or VL53L9?We don't want to measure the distance to objects. We just want to be able to use the SPAD array to get histogram for each ...
What's the difference between the following sensor variants:VL53L7CHVL53L7CXFrom what I've seen from going through the available product documents, they are all the same, performance-wise (range, frequency, FoV etc).Difference between the CH and CX s...
The Ultra Light Driver (STSW-IMG023) init function vl53l5cx_init() fails in this section :/* Get offset NVM data and store them into the offset buffer */ status |= WrMulti(&(p_dev->platform), 0x2fd8, (uint8_t*)VL53L5CX_GET_NVM_CMD, sizeof(VL53...
Hi ST Support,A few datasheets for the BrightSense series, eg. um3224, show an option under CFG: Streaming readout mode control which is not precisely described in the documentation."-0x06: = XY binning x2"How does this differ from "-0x01: = digital ...
