| VL53L0X: Time Of Flight sensor |
| ############################## |
| |
| Overview |
| ******** |
| This sample periodically measures distance between vl53l0x sensor |
| and target. The result is displayed on the console. |
| It also shows how we can use the vl53l0x as a proximity sensor. |
| |
| |
| Requirements |
| ************ |
| |
| This sample uses the VL53L0X sensor controlled using the I2C interface. |

| Building and Running |
| ******************** |
| |
| This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires a VL53L0X |
| sensor, which is present on the disco_l475_iot1 board. |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| $ cd samples/sensors/vl53l0x |
| $ mkdir disco_l475_iot1 && cd disco_l475_iot1 |
| $ cmake -DBOARD=disco_l475_iot1 .. |
| $ make |
