Hello, I am trying to connect a VL53L3CX (a module I purchased on AliExpress) with the ESP32. I have found the Arduino library but it does not fit the ESP32. I will highly appreciate your help in helping me get this working. Thanks a lot, Motti

Hi,

I'm recently able to stream the distance to nRF Android Apps using an ESP 32 expressif and a VL53L1X satellite with Polulu library https://github.com/pololu/vl53l1x-arduino/tree/master/examples.

Thanks

Julien

Hi Julien, Thanks for your reply. I have seen a solution for the VL53L1X. The issue is that I am using the VL53L3CX which is different. ST docs claims that it supports multi region, etc. but I could not find technical details on how to do that or any sample code. I will highly appreciate your help in getting this to work on the VL53L3CX. Thanks!

Hi Julien, you can also look at: https://github.com/mottibz/ESP32-VL53L3CX-Test-app

This is some test code that I wrote for testing the VL53L3CX.

It requires the following library: https://github.com/stm32duino/VL53L3CX

I will very highly appreciate your help with this.
