stm32duino / VL53L0X

Arduino library to support the VL53L0X Time-of-Flight and gesture-detection sensor

Is it possible to modify this library for arduino boards too? #6

Which Arduino board do you want to use? Actually, the library should work also with whatever Arduino board. You just need to adjust the sample sketch for your use case.

I use Arduino Nano and sometimes Mega.

Ok, thanks. What is instead the board with VL53L0X component that you are using? Is the X-NUCLEO-53L0A1 shield?

Ok, I fixed an issue on the library (UNUSED macro was not defined for Arduino boards). Now you can try to run the Arduino_Nano_VL53L0X_DataLogTerminal sketch attached to this post but you need to adjust the Wire and the pins XSHUT, GPIO1 definition. I suppose that Wire instance is "Wire" of the Nano, XSHUT is pin 5 of the Nano and GPIO1 is pin 6 of the Nano. So you need to physically connect these pins to the Nano using some wires. Let me know if it works on your side. Unfortunately I do not have an Arduino Nano and your chinese board of VL53L0X to test your setup. Regards, Carlo Arduino_Nano_VL53L0X_DataLogTerminal.txt

Wow! Thank you so much! It's working now!

Great! I will close this issue and I will create a new tag of the library with this patch and some tips to get the library working also with Arduino boards.
