Can't STSW-IMG035 be used for VL53L5CX?

Hi

I want to use the VL53L5CX on  STSW-IMG035, but I found that the sensor initialization in the source code only supports VL53L7CX and VL53L8CX.

I checked the source code of STSW-IMG023 and found some differences in the sensor initialization process, so I can't directly use the code of STSW-IMG035 for VL53L5CX, is that right?

But according to the document "GestureEVK_UG.pdf" in STSW-IMG035, it is mentioned that VL53L5CX can be used, and there are many comments in STSW-IMG035 about VL53L5CX(although they may be wrong), so I think that for some reason, the support for VL53L5CX was removed in the B case?

How should I use VL53L5CX to develop my gesture recognition cases with STSW-IMG035?

 

Sincerely,

Phil

Hi @Philister,

 

VL53L5CX is no more promoted, that's why it's not in the web page of the solution.

But you can evaluate the solution with this sensor.
