Hello.
I just got the mentioned sensor. I connected it to Wemos d1 pro. But the problem is that the sensor only works for about a minute. Then it is not detected anymore. I also tried with I2C scanner, it is detected only for a few minutes. Then I need to disconnect the board from power for some time, and it works again for a few minutes. Just reseting it doesn’t help, it needs to be without power for some time.
Connections are:
VIN — 3V3 - also tried 5V
GND — G
SCL ---- D1
SDA — D2
#include "Adafruit_VL53L0X.h"
Adafruit_VL53L0X lox = Adafruit_VL53L0X();
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
// wait until serial port opens for native USB devices
while (! Serial) {
delay(1);
}
Serial.println("Adafruit VL53L0X test");
if (!lox.begin()) {
Serial.println(F("Failed to boot VL53L0X"));
while(1);
}
// power
Serial.println(F("VL53L0X API Simple Ranging example\n\n"));
}
void loop() {
VL53L0X_RangingMeasurementData_t measure;
Serial.print("Reading a measurement... ");
lox.rangingTest(&measure, false); // pass in 'true' to get debug data printout!
if (measure.RangeStatus != 4) { // phase failures have incorrect data
Serial.print("Distance (mm): "); Serial.println(measure.RangeMilliMeter);
} else {
Serial.println(" out of range ");
}
delay(100);
}
