Changing the default address #17

Open lpilli opened 7 months ago

lpilli commented 7 months ago

I changed the default address to 0X30 on one of my sensors, it reverted back to its default after the Pi rebooted. Is this normal?

Thinking to run the set_address at boot, other than that I dont see other options? Multiplexers is one other still though.

including the set_address into my code, so everytime I need to read from two sensors, set_address runs...

Actually now I am curious, can we change the default address permanently?

The VL53L1X doesn't have onboard non-volatile memory, so any settings are cleared with power down. For using a pair of these sensors, check out this guide here. If you opt to use a multiplexer, I can vouch for this one when used with two VL53L1Xs.
