esp32_vl53l0x's Issues

ESP32s2 with VL53L0X reset issue

Hi there,
I am working on esp32s2 and want to integrate the vl53l0x with esp32s2.
Code is working fine with esp32.
But when I try to implement it on esp32s2 I get following reset issue

E (277) VL53L0X: VL53L0X_ResetDevice API status: -20 : Control Interface Error

E (3289) VL53L0X: VL53L0X_DataInit API status: -20 : Control Interface Error

E (3289) app_main: Failed to initialize VL53L0X :(

I connected the gpio_xshut pin for hardware reset but the issue remained the same...

  VL53L0X(i2c_port_t i2c_port = 0, gpio_num_t gpio_xshut = GPIO_NUM_4,
          gpio_num_t gpio_gpio1 = GPIO_NUM_MAX)
      : i2c_port(i2c_port), gpio_xshut(gpio_xshut), gpio_gpio1(gpio_gpio1) {
    vSemaphoreCreateBinary(xSemaphore);
  }

Any idea regarding the issue? kindly let me know if any other necessary detail is required

esp ide version

hello don't you have an esp ide version, or is there a way to make it starting from your project?

esp-idf v5 compatibility

Hi! I would love to use this component in my project, but I am using the latest version of esp-idf (v5) and I think (not sure) that it is not compatible.
I tried cloning the repository, including it in the EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS but when reconfiguring i get the following error

❯ idf.py reconfigure
...
CMake Error at build/_deps/espvl53l0x-src/CMakeLists.txt:19 (register_component):
  Unknown CMake command "register_component".

I did the following to make it work

Failed to initialize VL53L0X

Hi there i was testing this code on my esp32 and vl53lox and i am getting the bellow error

E (3350) VL53L0X: VL53L0X_ResetDevice API status: -7 : Time out error

E (3357) VL53L0X: VL53L0X_DataInit API status: -3 : Undefined error

E (3357) app_main: Failed to initialize VL53L0X :(

i have checked the pin configuration its all correct. i am using a ATK-PMW3901 module which has built in vl53lox

how to convert app_main.cpp to main.c

Hi
My previous code that I am using is in C and i m using esp-idf. This example runs fine but when I try to integrate this code with my existing C code I run into some issues. So is there any way that I convert this code into C so that I can intergate it with my code
Thanks

C example

don't you have a c example?
my ide didn't want to accept the class in the header file
