Just a quick question regarding the VL53L1X carrier board: the datasheet for the sensor states that they are calibrated from the factory, but should be re-calibrated if being soldered or put behind something like glass. Do the carrier boards get their own calibration from Pololu, or in your experience have these sensors not needed additional calibration after production?
Hello.
We do not calibrate the VL53L1X sensors during our manufacturing process. We generally find the sensor to be accurate when used as is, so I recommend you try it with its factory calibration first. Ultimately it will depend on specific details of your application though, like whether you are using a cover glass and your accuracy requirements.
