Hello, I have a question of VL53L1X time-of-Flight Distance Sensor. The VL53L1X features a programmable region of interest (ROI), so the full field of view can be reduced or divided into multiple zones.
I want to know if I can change ROI dynamically. Take measurements at different ROIs in a short time. The previous sensor, based on the VL53L1X that I used, needed a few seconds to upload the configuration and restart.
Thank you for your answer
Hello,
I just replied to your email with the same question before noticing that you also posted here on the forum. I have copied my response from the email below; in the future, please let us know if you decide to contact us through multiple support channels so we can better coordinate a response:
You can change the ROI of the VL53L1X by calling an API function, and I believe that can be done on-the-fly without requiring the sensor to otherwise be reset; however, we have not done much with the programmable ROI feature ourselves.
Since your question is mainly about the VL53L1X itself, I recommend that you try to contact ST directly, since they manufacture the VL53L1X IC and provide the official API for it. You could post your question on their community site.

I understand thanks for the answer
