Hi, recently I’ve bought [vl53l1x distance sensor](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/vl53l1x-breakout). I’ve managed to communicate the sensor with RaspberryPi using [official python library](https://github.com/pimoroni/vl53l1x-python/). I would like to measure distance between the sensor and the blinds. ![blinds housing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/1/16fef2e60ed25de75a7e9c05f60e63394c3b148c.jpeg) (on the picture you can see LiDAR Lite V3HP, but it doesn’t matter. I want to replace it with vl53l1x) I’ve done some tests and here are results: ```auto Real distance [cm] | short | medium | long | --------------------|---------|--------|--------| 12 | 28 | 24 | 15 | 46 | 44 | 45 | 44 | 57 | 53 | 57 | 55 | 67 | 63 | 67 | 68 | 77 | 73 | 78 | 79 | 87 | 85 | 92 | 91 | 97 | 96 | 105 | 106 | 107 | 110 | 121 | 120 | 118 | 125 | 133 | 133 | 128 | 145 | 145 | 146 | 130 | 146 | 146 | 147 | ``` As you can see there are some insurances. Is there a way to increase the accuracy of the measurements?
