Laser distance measurement with M5Stack Core2 ESP32 and VL53L0X with Arduino ( Adavanced)

Learn how to setup and prepare your Arduino to work with M5Stack Core 2, wire the VL53L0x 200cm laser distance sensor and measure distance in cm, mm, or inch. We learn also to prepare Arduino IDe software to work Core2 ESP32
In this Advanced code, we have 2 touch switch for cm, mm and the third once is for power off using touch. Basic Code is here
