The VL53L0X sensor chips (33 of them) i bought from Digikey isn't working in my PCBA. I tried to use sensor from the module which i purchased early on is working fine in my PCBA & shows distance readings. I suspect the batch had manufacturing defects...
Hello,I evaluated the VL53L5CX and it works pretty well. Unfortunately I cannot use it in my application because it has a RAM based firmware (flash memory consumption and maybe boot time also).1) Is there a way to easily find out which of the sensors...
Hello all, We will probably need to go for custom cover panels for our sensors, however, we could not find a clear list of requirements to follow.Material: The product's datasheet (DS13812 - Rev 6) states that "the VL53L4CD achieves the best ranging ...
HI,The driver file I downloaded from the official website is version 1.2.8.(stsw-img029)But when I downloaded the Demo(X-CUBE-TOF1), I found that it uses version 1.2.10.Should I use the latest one? Thanks
Hello all, We have multiple VL6180 sensors on a common IIC bus.Upon system start up, we are enabling one sensor via its GPIO0 / CE pin, initialising it, changing its IIC address, disabling it, and repeating these steps for all sensors on the IIC bus....
I am attempting to connect the satel-vl53l8a to the Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 using the I2C protocol, but I am not receiving any acknowledgment (ACK). I have followed the wiring diagrams provided in this document: AN5945. Additionally, I have capt...
I'm having a bit of trouble talking to the VL53L5Cx... I'm appearing to download firmware ok, by all accolunts vl53l5cx_init() is returning with VL53L5CX_STATUS_OK and vl53l5cx_start_ranging() likewise. However, the response on the I2C bus to vl53l5c...
Hi, i am trying to use VL6180 to get an obstacle range.I'm using VL6180 APi to communicate with the device. Communication is ok, and consistent. Each register is written correctly.As show in ST examples I init the device and start a single shot readi...
Hello,i have managed to get the vl53l8cx to run and it returns correct measurements. with the occasional wrong distance. i wanted to take advantage of the "Status" values to throw out bad measurements. however my status prints are always 0.here is my...
Hello,We are researching the feasibility of a new product and have some questions regarding STMicro's TOF sensors. At this time we are narrowing on the VL53L4CX, but I am sure these questions apply to most of these sensors. The product is detecting d...
