Description
The Sparkfun Library is missing two functions that that are part of the ST API.
https://www.st.com/resource/en/datasheet/vl53l1x.pdf
In the ST user manual on page 13, these are the parameters to set for range threshold:
Example:
Detectionconfig.DetectionMode = 1
Detectionconfig.Distance.CrossMode = 3
Detectionconfig.IntrNoTarget = 0
Detectionconfig.Distance.High = 1000
Detectionconfig.Distance.Low = 100
Status = VL53L1_SetThresholdConfig(&VL53L1Dev, &detectionConfig );
This function is used to program the device to report ranging only when an object is detected within 10 cm and 1 m (as in this example).
The function VL53L1_GetThresholdConfig() allows the programmed report threshold configuration to be obatined.
There are two items in this configuration that are missing in the SparkFun library : IntrNoTarget and DetectionMode
Without these two, there are a large number of "false" interrupts where the interrupt is raised but there is not a measurement in the designed range.
Adding these two API calls is not straight forward as ST does not expose the registers.
Would it be possible to add these two so a range limited interrupt implementation is possible?
