When I use VL53L1X controlled by arduino ,it often wrong and shows TIMEOUT. Can you help me find the reason?
Here is my code:
/*
This example shows how to take simple range measurements with the VL53L1X. The
range readings are in units of mm.
*/
#include <Wire.h>
#include <VL53L1X.h>
VL53L1X sensor;
void setup()
{
Wire.begin();
Wire.setClock(400000); // use 400 kHz I2C
sensor.setTimeout(500);
if (!sensor.init())
{
Serial.println("Failed to detect and initialize sensor!");
}
// Use long distance mode and allow up to 50000 us (50 ms) for a measurement.
// You can change these settings to adjust the performance of the sensor, but
// the minimum timing budget is 20 ms for short distance mode and 33 ms for
// medium and long distance modes. See the VL53L1X datasheet for more
// information on range and timing limits.
sensor.setDistanceMode(VL53L1X::Long);
sensor.setMeasurementTimingBudget(50000);
// Start continuous readings at a rate of one measurement every 50 ms (the
// inter-measurement period). This period should be at least as long as the
// timing budget.
sensor.startContinuous(50);
}
void loop()
{
Serial.print(sensor.read());
if (sensor.timeoutOccurred())
{
Serial.print(" TIMEOUT");
}
Serial.println();
}
