Arduino Code

You can easily wire this breakout to any microcontroller, we'll be using an Arduino. For another kind of microcontroller,

just make sure it has I2C, then port the API code. We strongly recommend using an Arduino to start though!

Connect Vin to the power supply, 3-5V is fine. Use the same voltage that the microcontroller logic is based off of.

For most Arduinos, that is 5V

Connect GND to common power/data ground

Connect the SCL pin to the I2C clock SCL pin on your Arduino. On an UNO & '328 based Arduino, this is also

known as A5, on a Mega it is also known as digital 21 and on a Leonardo/Micro, digital 3

Connect the SDA pin to the I2C data SDA pin on your Arduino. On an UNO & '328 based Arduino, this is also

known as A4, on a Mega it is also known as digital 20 and on a Leonardo/Micro, digital 2

The VL53L0X has a default I2C address of 0x29!

You

can

change it, but only in software. That means you have to wire the SHUTDOWN pin and hold all but one sensor

in reset while you reconfigure one sensor at a time

Download Adafruit_VL53L0X

To begin reading sensor data, you will need to install the Adafruit_VL53L0X Library (https://adafru.it/sDz).

The easiest way to do that is to open up the Manage Libraries... menu in the Arduino IDE
