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.

@dijkhuisable 3 года назад

@@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.

Good afternoon Sir, I am waiting for TUTORIAL video for VL53L1X ROI. Kindly upload the tutorial. Thank you

@robojax 3 года назад

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.
