- class adafruit_vl53l1x.VL53L1X(i2c, address=41)¶
Driver for the VL53L1X distance sensor.
- clear_interrupt()¶
Clears new data interrupt.
- property data_ready¶
Returns true if new data is ready, otherwise false.
- property distance¶
The distance in units of centimeters.
- property distance_mode¶
The distance mode. 1=short (up to 136cm) , 2=long (up to 360cm).
- property model_info¶
A 3 tuple of Model ID, Module Type, and Mask Revision.
- set_address(new_address)¶
Set a new I2C address to the instantaited object. This is only called when using multiple VL53L0X sensors on the same I2C bus (SDA & SCL pins). See also the example for proper usage.
- start_ranging()¶
Starts ranging operation.
- stop_ranging()¶
Stops ranging operation.
- property timing_budget¶
Ranging duration in milliseconds. Increasing the timing budget increases the maximum distance the device can range and improves the repeatability error. However, average power consumption augments accordingly. ms = 15 (short mode only), 20, 33, 50, 100, 200, 500. Defaults to 50.
