V53L0X

[Haroen]

Thanks, also putting #include <mega2560.h> helped.

Excellent stuff. It is cool to discover the solution!

[Haroen]

Here I did some VL53LOX code adjustments for steady terminal readings without errors.
It works great on my Arduino Nano but should work on a Uno too!

#chip mega328p, 16
#option Explicit
;for terminal distance out
#define USART_BAUD_RATE 9600
#define USART_TX_BLOCKING
#define USART_DELAY 1 ms
;set up v53l0x
#define HI2C_DATA PORTC.5;sda
#define HI2C_CLOCK PORTC.4 ;scl
#define HI2C_BAUD_RATE 400
HI2CMode Master

dim distance_lo,distance_hi as byte
dim distance as Word

HI2CStart ;software restart
HI2CSend(0x52)
HI2CSend(0x89)
HI2CSend(0x01)
HI2CStop
wait 200 ms

do
  ;Sys Range Start
  HI2CStart
  HI2CSend(0x52)
  HI2CSend(0x00)
  HI2CSend(0x01)
  HI2CStop
  ;read distance
  HI2CStart
  HI2CSend(0x52)
  HI2CSend(0x1e)
  HI2CReStart
  HI2CSend(0x53) ;set the read flag
  HI2CReceive(distance_hi, ACK)
  HI2CReceive(distance_lo, NACK)
  HI2CStop

  'Code adjustments for steady readings without errors.
  distance=distance_hi*256+distance_lo
    Select Case distance
      Case 0
        'Skip errors
      Case 20
        'Skip errors
      Case <9
        hserprint " Distance:    "+str(distance)+" mm ";
        HSerPrintCRLF
      Case <99
        hserprint " Distance:   "+str(distance)+" mm ";
        HSerPrintCRLF
      Case <999
        hserprint " Distance:  "+str(distance)+" mm ";
        HSerPrintCRLF
      Case <2000
        hserprint " Distance: "+str(distance)+" mm ";
        HSerPrintCRLF
      Case >2000
        'Skip maximal errors
    End Select
 loop

Nice you got it working.
;set up v53l0x

;set up v53l0x
#define HI2C_DATA PORTC.5;sda
#define HI2C_CLOCK PORTC.4 ;scl

for some reason I thought these were swapped but it's the lgt328 that has the pins swapped
No,not swapped,your code?

pc.5 is scl

[stan cartwright]

I copied this from a robot vehicle code

;set up V53L0X
#define HI2C_DATA PORTC.5 ;sda portc.4 for nano portc.5 for uno
#define HI2C_CLOCK PORTC.4 ;scl portc.5 for nano portc.4 for uno
#define HI2C_BAUD_RATE 400
HI2CMode Master

so I know it works but dunno where my confusion came from.

I had no results from TOF 10120.
tried i2c to terminal and serial to spi display. maybe broke but doubt it.
any info on tof10120?

[Haroen]

yes, I checked C.5 scl on the Nano leg a5.

I will try the TOF10120 with gcb

[stan cartwright]

I been working on it but will try again,
like what is serial? distance and mm as 5 bytes so is that continuous?
set up device as usart and terminal as usart1.. dunno.
I checked it's id with i2c finder . brain ache

[Haroen]

He Stan, for the TOF10120 I will post in your other topic TOF10120 conversion.

[stan cartwright]

ok. I just been looking. at https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/discussion/579126/thread/1fe0a785f5/
the vl0x an tof 10120 seem to have mixed on the thread.
