This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L1X time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

This library is designed to work with the Arduino IDE versions 1.6.x or later; we have not tested it with earlier versions. This library should support any Arduino-compatible board, including the Pololu A-Star controllers.

A VL53L1X carrier can be purchased from Pololu's website. Before continuing, careful reading of the product page as well as the VL53L1X datasheet is recommended.

Make the following connections between the Arduino and the VL53L1X board:

(including Arduino Uno, Leonardo, Mega; Pololu A-Star 32U4)

Arduino   VL53L1X board
-------   -------------
     5V - VIN
    GND - GND
    SDA - SDA
    SCL - SCL

(including Arduino Due)

Arduino   VL53L1X board
-------   -------------
    3V3 - VIN
    GND - GND
    SDA - SDA
    SCL - SCL

If you are using version 1.6.2 or later of the Arduino software (IDE), you can use the Library Manager to install this library:

1. In the Arduino IDE, open the "Sketch" menu, select "Include Library", then "Manage Libraries...".
2. Search for "VL53L1X".
3. Click the VL53L1X entry in the list.
4. Click "Install".

If this does not work, you can manually install the library:

1. Download the latest release archive from GitHub and decompress it.
2. Rename the folder "vl53l1x-arduino-master" to "VL53L1X".
3. Move the "VL53L1X" folder into the "libraries" directory inside your Arduino sketchbook directory. You can view your sketchbook location by opening the "File" menu and selecting "Preferences" in the Arduino IDE. If there is not already a "libraries" folder in that location, you should make the folder you
