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.

Source code for VL53L0X Distance measurement using two sensor module for Arduino

This code is to measure distance using two VL53L0X modules. Each module's distance value is displayed separately.

vl53l0x_ContinuousRanging_Example.c from the VL53L0X API.
