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.
