VL53L0X non-Arduino library
Version: 1.0.2
Release date: 2017 Jun 27
Summary
This is a lightweight C library that helps to interface with ST's VL53L0X time-of-flight distance sensor. It makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.
I converted Pololus C++ Arduino code to a Makefile based C project. The original can be found here.
While I was able to get ST's original API running, it used > 26 kB (of 32 kB) of program memory. This library, while having somewhat reduced functionality, uses only about 4 kB.
Supported platforms
This library is designed to work with AVR-GCC and has been tested with an Arduino Pro Mini (without the Arduino IDE). The library comes with a running example. That means, you'll get a complete development environment here. There's a Makefile, some slim UART printing functions, a complete set of I2C master communication functions and my very own implementation of the millis() function (shamelessly stolen from the Arduino lib.).
Getting started
See the notes of the original C++ Arduino library.
Examples
Connect an Arduino Pro Mini to /dev/ttyUSB0 and ...
make bootloadThis will compile, flash (avrdude) and open a terminal window for debugging (miniterm).
