Getting started with x-nucleo-53l1a1 with nucleo f401re

[vishnusf]

Hi 

I am new to VL53L1X. Can anybody guide me as to how to get started with interfacing vl53l1x with nucleo f401re?

[Peter BENSCH]

Take a look at the P-NUCLEO-53L1A1, where exactly this combination is used and where you also find a getting started manual UM2359.

Good luck!

Peter is correct as always, but let's go a little further. 

The X-nucleo-53L1A1 when combined with the X-Nucleo-F401RE is called the P-nucleo-53L1A1.

And we have special code for it.

Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) for VL53L1X Nucleo packs. Works with P-NUCLEO-53L1A1

Imaging Software

This bit of code will run on your PC and graphically show what the sensor can do. 

Then have a look at the API - It contains a lot of examples that can be compiled with the STM32CubeIDE code development platform. 

With all that you should be on your way!!
