W Write custom VL53L0X config 0x57…

Write new VL53L0X configuration parameters.

Parameters are written in the following order: Signal Limit, Sigma Limit,

Time Budget, VCSEL Period selection. This command requires a sequence

of steps which are best understood by following the code from the tinyLiDAR

Terminal GUI sketch shown in Appendix A.

Host -> Sensor

Send Command

0x57 {W},

Signal Rate Limit in MCPS written as 100x the required value, {required

range is 0.00 to 65.00MCPS so have to write 0 to 6500 here}

Sigma Limit in mm,

Timing Budget in milliseconds (ms), {range is 20ms to 2000ms }

VCSEL Period selection, {choose either 18 or 14 here to signify which pair of

values you want to choose}

18 means:

“Pre-range VCSEL Period =

and Final-range VCSEL Period = 14”

14 means:

“Pre-range VCSEL Period =

and Final-range VCSEL Period = 10”

Example:

Set tinyLiDAR at the default address of 0x10 to the “High Accuracy”

configuration parameters:

Signal Limit = 0.25 MCPS, so write 100x 0.25 = 25 which is 0x0019

Sigma Limit = 18 mm, so write 0x12

Time Budget = 200 ms, so write 0x00c8

Pre-range VCSEL Period = 14, Final-range VCSEL Period = 10, so write 0x0e

<10:w> 57 00 19 12 00 c8 0e

Note that on the GUI Terminal this would be entered as:

w 25 18 200 14
