Datasheet

Move your hand up and down to read the sensor data. Note that when nothing is detected, it will say the reading is out

of range

Connecting Multiple Sensors

I2C only allows one address-per-device so you have to make sure each I2C device has a unique address. The default

address for the VL53L0X is 0x29 but you

can

change this in software.

To set the new address you can do it one of two ways. During initialization, instead of calling lox.begin(), call

lox.begin(0x30) to set the address to 0x30. Or you can, later, call lox.setAddress(0x30) at any time.

The good news is its easy to change, the annoying part is each

other

sensor has to be in shutdown. You can shutdown

each sensor by wiring up to the XSHUT pin to a microcontroller pin. Then perform something like this pseudo-code:

1. Reset all sensors by setting all of their XSHUT pins low for delay(10), then set all XSHUT high to bring out of reset

2. Keep sensor #1 awake by keeping XSHUT pin high

3. Put all other sensors into shutdown by pulling XSHUT pins low

4. Initialize sensor #1 with lox.begin(

new_i2c_address

) Pick any number but 0x29 and it must be under 0x7F. Going

with 0x30 to 0x3F is probably OK.

5. Keep sensor #1 awake, and now bring sensor #2 out of reset by setting its XSHUT pin high.

6. Initialize sensor #2 with lox.begin(

new_i2c_address

) Pick any number but 0x29 and whatever you set the first

Don't forget to remove the protective plastic cover from the sensor before using!
