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.
