/* This example shows how to get single-shot range measurements from the VL53L0X. The sensor can optionally be configured with different ranging profiles, as described in the VL53L0X API user manual, to get better performance for a certain application. This code is based on the four "SingleRanging" examples in the VL53L0X API. The range readings are in units of mm. */ #include #include VL53L0X sensor; // Uncomment this line to use long range mode.
