TOF_VL53L0X Error

Post by 17712885438 »

I'm currently working on a RangeTOF_VL53L0X project. It is displayed correctly in the simulation. However, it doesn't work when downloaded to the physical object. Help me!

Hi

Can you be a bit more descriptive? What about it doesn't work? Many including myself have used it successfully and posted in the forum our experience. Have you searched those posts?

Hi

If you do a simple search in the forum for VL53L0X you will find many examples using different chips.

Hi

Without seeing a datasheet I can only guess that it is perhaps "latest generation" of the device and if so I would again guess that it would retain compatibility with original (perhaps with extra features).

There are many "clones" available from the usual cheap sites and some of them are of poor quality. In the tests I did on a couple I did not get anything like the claimed accuracy, but it was still perfectly good for my application.

Hi both!

Just look in my box, I have a couple of these, similar. If you want I can make a setup and make a test it later today ;)

Hi,
The TOF sensor in the picture is a VL53L1X type which is pin compatible with the VL53L0X type.
But it probably won't work with the VL53L0X API.

Sasi

Hi Jorgen

Thanks for offering but I personally don't need any testing. I still have my results from my "zombie" tests :lol

Hi!

I got curious so I tried to test. I have the same one as 17712885438 have. In my experiment I have used an I2C LCD display connected to C4 and C5 same for the sensor. I have another model VLX also and both work ;)
You could try to change the display in my examble and see if it work.

Good luck :)

Jorgen
