“Used with the breakout garden.
Works perfectly with the provided python library, just make sure to remove the film over the sensor!
Within minutes you can start measuring distances and have them update live using the provided examples.”
“The VL53L1X is a great distance sensor. As with all ToF sensors by ST, this one is at the top for performance and features. The only downside is that the I2C address is fixed, which makes is impossible to use more than one in a project.”
“This little sensor works brilliantly. There's a lot of supporting code for it. The way the pins are staggered makes soldering easy. Just remember to remove the protective film! perhaps the one thing that it could change would be to breakout the XSHUT pin somewhere - on the side so it keeps the breakout garden profile.”
“Need to pull in a surprisingly large code library to get this running, but it seems to work well. Much better than the ultrasonic range finder I was using before.”
