ZX Distance and Gesture Sensor SMD issue

Hi, I have two boards that I have and both are not reporting any gestures. When I run the I2C_ZX_Demo the values for the X is 120 and Z of 0 when my hand is away from the sensor. When I wave my hand over the sensor, the X will only change when my hand is really close to the sensor and goes from around 120 to 140. On the Z, it increases up to ~54 when really close to the sensor. The range is only about 1 to 2 inches. I was wondering if anyone had some issues with this board. I am using the same hardware as was described in the guide.

Hi minerjr,

If you’re having the same issue with both sensors, I think there might be a connection problem. Are you getting this error at any point:

"ZX Sensor initialization complete

Error reading model version number

Model version needs to be 1 to work with this library. Stopping."

If so, please take a few photos of your boards and circuit and attach them to your reply. Do the other examples work okay or are they all not functioning properly? Lastly, have you tested with the UART examples and had the same issues? If not, give those a try and see if you get any better results.
