However, one common problem for the VL53 series is that they all come with a single preprogrammed I2C address. Lets see some solutions for this. - ## Simple solution - 2 I2C buses From 2b70e0654b1d2824449600f6cf316fbd6154d993 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Danny Staple Date: Sat, 19 Apr 2025 12:09:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] LInk to Kev's tutorial --- .../2023/01/2023-01-26-using-multiple-vl53l-type-sensors.md | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/2023/01/2023-01-26-using-multiple-vl53l-type-sensors.md b/content/2023/01/2023-01-26-using-multiple-vl53l-type-sensors.md index 53871f79..0836b530 100644 --- a/content/2023/01/2023-01-26-using-multiple-vl53l-type-sensors.md +++ b/content/2023/01/2023-01-26-using-multiple-vl53l-type-sensors.md @@ -23,6 +23,10 @@ The devices connect via I2C, and I2C normally allows multiple devices to share a +## Getting a single sensor working + +If you are yet to get one of these working, I suggest taking a look at [Raspberry Pi Pico & VL53L0X for MicroPython](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBu6GKnN4lk) where Kevin McAleer explains how to get one of these working with a Raspberry Pi Pico. + ## Simple solution - 2 I2C buses Some microcontrollers, like the Raspberry Pi Pico have multiple I2C buses.
