Thanks man, this is the only library working with the Sinkr VL53L1X sensor sold on Amazon US. All other libraries do not work. You only need to cut the power to the Arduino for 15sec after uploading the code, otherwise the sensor is not detected for some reason and then, it works.
Hello, love your channel! Do you have a way to display the distance on a 16x16 led matrix? I need to be able to see the distance reading from several feet away and the small lcd or 7 segment displays aren’t big enough. Thanks!
Hi Great Video, do you know where I can find to libraries for VL5301X/1XV2 distance sensor? To be used in Eclipse IDE for use of the sensor in an esp32 controller. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers
Thanks for the video. I am making a wrist watch. I am excited to use the big brother of the 1X, the VL53L5X as a gesture sensor. Have you used it for gesturing with your hands? -Frank
@@robojax Thanks. In my experience working with the Adafruit_APDS9960 breakout from Adafruit, I have not yet gotten it to sense gestures as well as in the video from Robojox. I'm going to try using the VL53L5X and I'll post the results here. -Frank
How can i interface VL53L1X ToF sensor with stm32 and lcd display for human's counting and display number count on lcd? Can you help me with it's diagrams connection and program?
by reading the datasheet, writing down the register address then using I2C communication reading or updating different registers. You can learn from the provided library in this video to use with stm32

@@robojax Thank you for fast reply! i don't think you understand me right. I looking for a solution to trigger my esp8266 from sleeping mode. i don't want to trigger the ranging sensor. i found this api discription from the manufacturer. 6.8 Interrupt settings Use VL53L0X_SetGpioConfig()and VL53L0X_GetGpioConfig() to set/get the functionality of the interrupt. Options are: • No Interrupt • Level Low (value < thresh_low) • Level High (value > thresh_high) • Out Of Window (value < thresh_low OR value > thresh_high) There is a dedicated procedure embedded in the API for when the interrupt threshold is programmed to be larger than 254mm and also set to continuous or continuous timed mode. In this case some specific tuning parameters are loaded by the API at each ranging start which will introduce a delay of a few milliseconds (depending on the host I2C performance) to the very first ranging measurement. In single ranging mode, the maximum programmable threshold is 254mm When i take a look in the code of the VL53L0X.h and VL53L0X.cpp arduino library i find this line. // "Set interrupt config to new sample ready" // -- VL53L0X_SetGpioConfig() begin writeReg(SYSTEM_INTERRUPT_CONFIG_GPIO, 0x04); writeReg(GPIO_HV_MUX_ACTIVE_HIGH, readReg(GPIO_HV_MUX_ACTIVE_HIGH) & ~0x10); // active low writeReg(SYSTEM_INTERRUPT_CLEAR, 0x01); // -- VL53L0X_SetGpioConfig() end Links of information: www.st.com/resource/en/user_manual/dm00279088-world-smallest-timeofflight-ranging-and-gesture-detection-sensor-application-programming-interface-stmicroelectronics.pdf github.com/pololu/vl53l0x-arduino I hope you could help me out how to configure these lines. sensor.writeReg(SYSTEM_INTERRUPT_CONFIG_GPIO, 0x04); tried this line but nothing happend on the gpio1 pin. the singal stay's high on (3,3v) on my occilloscope.

Please provide error you are getting? did you run I2C scanner? it is provided on the same page as the code is. make sure you are getting I2C address printed on the serial monitor when you run I2C scanner.
you can put this in a container and send it underwater. It just need calibration if you put inside the glass or transparent box. The library I have shown has the calibration. See datasheet on how to calibrate this chip.
this module might not be the best option. Region of Interest should be done using CCD or some kind of other sensor with camera and lens so you see the region. this is not emitting any light nor there is image . I believe this is not a suitable option for this purpose. Also very few people will have interest in RIO. I try to make videos that benefit lots of people. So I won't be making this video.
because it doesn't know what to do. So you should set your limit so it doesn't give error. float maxDistance = 350.00;//350mc and then if it reruns error, display 0
I don't remember what I said in the video. But I never escape any point in the code and explain everything. so inside the loop where it prints the distance, add your own condition like if(distance >350 || distance
