+**LIDARCAM Driver**
+#
+ST VL53L1X Time of flight lidar camera
+#
+**Functional Description**
+
+#
+**Operation**
+
+
+#
+**Status**
+* **October 26, 2018** - Driver is talking to the sensor and is reading values from registers.
+ However, The device will not respond to write commands and will not bring itself out of the
+ boot sate. The sensor has funny voltage requirements and so I may have blown an internal component
+ or perhaps have it stuck in a odd state. order another sensor and will test when it
+ arrives.
+* **October 25, 2018** - Ported the Sparkfun code to the somax base. using this code
+ to drive the chip as the register space is ennormous and would take to long to write
+ from scratch.
+* **October 20, 2018** - Created initial driver.
