VL53L0X long range mode not working
Hi,
I am currently actively debugging and working with the sensor and it shows correct measurement data when i set the profile to 'Long range' example (settings from the 'um2039' User manual).
however the sensor response for RangeDMaxMilliMeter: always show a value around 1200 which should be around 2000, is there another settings which i need to do before the profile is actively set to long range?
Measurement data is now also correctly measured until about 1200mm but higher results in invalid measurements.
below are my settings as they are performed in the code:
MyDevice.I2cDevAddr = 0x52;
MyDevice.comms_type = 1; // 1 should equal I2C
MyDevice.comms_speed_khz = 100;
MyDevice.hi2c = hi2c;
VL53L0X_DEV = &MyDevice;

g_tof_state = tof_sensor_reset_sensor;

}Another problem i am facing is that when i connect the sensor to my devkit (NucleoF401RE) and initialize the sensor from bootup the first data i receive is incorrect and i need to power cycle the sensor before (and reinitialize) before i get correct measurement data, is there a sensor power on time before communications/configurations can start?
King regards,
