I2C address problem with SATEL-VL53L7CX
Hello everyone,
I am trying to read the distance data from a VL53L7CX ToF sensor with a Teensy 4.1 board. I am using the SATEL-VL53L7CX breakout board.
The sensor is detected by the Teensy, however I when I try to check if the new data are ready to be read, it is never the case. I looked closely and found out that the I2C address detected by the Teensy (0x29) was different than the one used by the sensor (0x52, default address). Do you have any idea how to solve that please?
Beside that, my sensor is correctly wired to the Teensy :
- IC2_RST on pin 22 of the Teensy
- SDA on pin 18
- SCL on pin 19
- LPn on pin 23
- PWREN on pin 15
- AVDD on 5V
- IOVDD n 3.3V
- GND on ground
Also, I am using the stm32duino VL53L7CX library (https://github.com/stm32duino/VL53L7CX/tree/main) and here is my code.
