Thank’s for your answer.
VL53L1X has not the same protocol as VL53L0X. That’s the reason, why L0X is supported in 3.6, VL53L1X in 3.7
But meanwhile had a look on the code and you are probably right. They use the same number for those two lidar chips, but a different parameter is passed to the code, after the chip is recognized.
I’ll get a VL53L1X next week, we’ll see.
But i have a major issue with 3.7: It doesn’t allow me to fly higher than RNGFND_MAX, even if the rangefinder (so far a VL53L0X) is disabled. That means: I can’t fly higher than 120cm and that’s not nice !
Posted a log in another thread, perhaps you can tell me, what’s wrong.
Btw: VL53L0X works great (indoor Loiter with PMW3901, …) so i’m really excited to test VL53L1X
Yes VL53L1X is detected automatically when setting to VL53L0X.
This is an indoor device as it is quite sensible to direct sunlight, it is a good match for the PMW3901
From this: …, it’s an indoor sensor. We didn’t intend it that way, it’s just physics.
The sensor outputs an eye-safe laser light. If you could see it, it would be about as bright as a common Red LED on must electronics.
Outdoors we go up against the sun. Which generates a ton of 940nm light. (Oddly, there is not as much 940nm as the visible frequencies, but still a lot.)…
Its documentation should make clear that VL53L0X and VL53L1X are indoor sensors.
