VL53LXX Example
This example shows the use of the Vl53l component to communicate with a VL53L4CD
time-of-flight distance sensor.
The example initializes the sensor, configures it, and then reads the distance from the sensor every 50ms. The distance is then printed to the console.
Hardware Required
This example is designed to work with any ESP32 which has I2C pins exposed, but is pre-configured to run on QtPy boards such as the QtPy ESP32 Pico and QtPy ESP32-S3.
It requires that you have a VL53L4CD or VL53L4CX time of flight distance sensor dev board, such as the VL53L4CD breakout from Adafruit.
Note: This component is not compatible with the VL53L0X sensor. If you have a VL53L0X (e.g., WHADDA WPSE337 or the Adafruit VL53L0X breakout), you will need a different driver, as VL53L0X uses a different register addressing scheme.
How to use example
Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
