Distance vs Sample count is not seemed to be working. Any help would be appreciated.

HI Shruthi,

Can you provide more details? Is the distance reported inaccurate, or is the EVM not updating properly?

Thank you,

Brent Elliott

Hi, Brent, Thanks for your response. Were the screenshots visible? Distance reported is inaccurate and I do not think that the sensor is sending any data.

Thanks,

Shruthi

Hi Shruthi,

I am able to see the screenshots. I see from the first screenshot that there are readings showing up on the live plot. Shows about 2.6m. Where is the target positioned? Are these samples updating or was it capturing for a time and then stopped working?

Thank you,

Brent Elliott
