Hi guys! I’m working on using VL53L0X V2 laser ToF on the Microbit to measure distance. But I don’t know how to get it working. references I’ve found were mostly on Arduino boards. Could anyone help me out please?

I found under → extensions / ToF  
–\>range-vI53I0x  
Tinkercademy Makecode Package  
for the VL53LOX Time-of-Flight

Under the new Category “rangefinder” I found “initialise” and " distance (in cm)"

But an Error acourt by “initialise”  
I could not find an solution…

Hi

Did you make a correct connection ?

SCL → pin 19 (Micro:bit)  
SDA → pin 20  
VDD → 3V  
GND → 0V  
XSHUT - \> 3V  
INT → Not connected
