Time-of-Flight sensors are generally sensitive to ambient light. The brighter the ambient light, the more interference there will be. This results in an impact to accuracy of the detected distance, or the maximum detection range of the CANrange. Users should profile the CANrange in their application in expected ambient lighting conditions to determine how it performs in their use-case. -
