is there any example like VL53L0x for dual sensor for VL6180?

i already try out but there is a error

are you sure you're using the latest files because travis is able to compile for mega just fine

I'm not able to replicate this function on a Teensy 3.6...I can see one sensor but multiple sensors cannot be found.

The address change example seems to work, but I can't find the sensor after changing the address when more than one is on the bus.

I also don't seem to be able to get the "shutdown" function working.
