This code is to measure distance using laser module ToF Time of Flight VL53L0X 6 pin module. This module is sold on eBay or AliExpress in different color but mostly (as of Jun 2018) sold in pink color.
Use I2C scanner (link below ) to see if wiring is done properly.
/* This example shows how to use continuous mode to take
range measurements with the 6 pin VL53L0X module. It is based on
vl53l0x_ContinuousRanging_Example.c from the VL53L0X API.
The range readings are in units of mm.
