Hi, I tried to use the VL6180X module and a board "Arduino Uno" to measure the distance I used the following code to set up the board.
I connected pin ُِSDA to A4 and pin SCL to A5 on the board. But my circuit doesn't show less than 120mm and show zero for 120mm then on it starts showing values 1mm and mm2 and .... for mor than 120mm.
And also "Lux" always is 0.0 !
How can I solve my problem?
Code is same as sample in IDE
#include <Wire.h>
#include "Adafruit_VL6180X.h"
Adafruit_VL6180X vl = Adafruit_VL6180X();
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200);
// wait for serial port to open on native usb devices
while (!Serial) {
delay(1);
}
Serial.println("Adafruit VL6180x test!");
if (! vl.begin()) {
Serial.println("Failed to find sensor");
while (1);
}
Serial.println("Sensor found!");
}
void loop() {
float lux = vl.readLux(VL6180X_ALS_GAIN_5);
Serial.print("Lux: "); Serial.println(lux);
uint8_t range = vl.readRange();
uint8_t status = vl.readRangeStatus();
if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_NONE) {
Serial.print("Range: "); Serial.println(range);
}
// Some error occurred, print it out!
if ((status >= VL6180X_ERROR_SYSERR_1) && (status <= VL6180X_ERROR_SYSERR_5)) {
Serial.println("System error");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_ECEFAIL) {
Serial.println("ECE failure");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_NOCONVERGE) {
Serial.println("No convergence");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_RANGEIGNORE) {
Serial.println("Ignoring range");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_SNR) {
Serial.println("Signal/Noise error");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_RAWUFLOW) {
Serial.println("Raw reading underflow");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_RAWOFLOW) {
Serial.println("Raw reading overflow");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_RANGEUFLOW) {
Serial.println("Range reading underflow");
}
else if (status == VL6180X_ERROR_RANGEOFLOW) {
Serial.println("Range reading overflow");
}
delay(50);
}
