Using CJMCU VL53L0X Laser Distance meter with Arduino

This video shows you how to use the VL53L0X module to measure distance. This is with TXS0108E 8-Bit Bi-directional, Level-Shifting, Voltage Translator

Source code for VL523L0X Distance measurement module for Arduino


 
/* This example shows how to use continuous mode to take
range measurements with the VL53L0X. It is based on
vl53l0x_ContinuousRanging_Example.c from the VL53L0X API.

The range readings are in units of mm.

  // Start continuous back-to-back mode (take readings as
