Simple test¶
Ensure your device works with this simple test.

# Initialize I2C bus and sensor.

# Optionally adjust the measurement timing budget to change speed and accuracy.
# See the example here for more details:
# https://github.com/pololu/vl53l0x-arduino/blob/master/examples/Single/Single.ino
# For example a higher speed but less accurate timing budget of 20ms:
#vl53.measurement_timing_budget = 20000
# Or a slower but more accurate timing budget of 200ms:
#vl53.measurement_timing_budget = 200000
# The default timing budget is 33ms, a good compromise of speed and accuracy.
# Main loop will read the range and print it every second.
while True:
print('Range: {0}mm'.format(vl53.range))
time.sleep(1.0)
