Hello,
I have been working on implementing two VL53L1X sensors into a design and programming them with in the Arduino IDE. I was seeing if I could power one of the sensors off of a separate battery supply but I started receiving readings from the sensor that all read as 0. I then tried running this sensor off the Arduino board’s power and was still reading distances of 0. Even when I went back to testing a Time-of-Flight sensor I knew gave me correct readings with the same code I still saw it reading distances of 0. I have not made any changes to the code since the last time I ran it but now I’m only receiving distance readings of 0 and I am unsure why.
Some further info is my range status reads as valid and my peak signal and ambient count rate are both 0.00. What can I do to get proper readings again or what could be causing this sudden problem?
