Interface VL53L0X with PIC18LF47K42 micro controller

[DuyHoang]

Hi all,

I am trying to use a PIC18LF47K42 to read the distance from the Light Ranger 2 click board, which uses the sensor VL53L0X.

I copy two folders: core and platform, which are  inside the folder en.STSW-IMG005\VL53L0X_1.0.4\Api

I add these file into the project header files and source files 

In the main.c, I try to call only one function VL53L0X_DataInit(); same as below

void main(void) 

{

  VL53L0X_DataInit();

  while(1)

  {   

  } 

}

The problem is that I cannot compile. The MPLabX shows the below error:

./../../Year2/MGMT102/0-Datasheet/01-ST_VL6180/API/en.STSW-IMG005/VL53L0X_1.0.4/Api/core/src/vl53l0x_api_core.c:29:10: fatal error: 'vl53l0x_api.h' file not found

#include "vl53l0x_api.h"

     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 error generated.

(908) exit status = 1

Could you please advise on a solution to the issue?

Thanks,

So it's telling you that it can't find the file  'vl53l0x_api.h' 

Do you actually have that file anywhere on your system?

Hi Andrew,

I have that file in the folder core\inc, and I have added it to the header files of my project.

The message says that the compiler can't find it.

As the file does exist, then the problem must be in your Include Paths - ie, you are not directing the compiler to look in the correct place.
