Hello!

I am using the VL53L4CD TOF Sensor as sold by Adafruit. I am running it with the circuit patched together as described in the example file VL53L4CD_Sat_HelloWorld.ino, also with the exact code (the only change being the port number). I am using an Arduino R4 WiFi. When I start the unit up, it runs normally for a bit (<1 min), and then stops.

Starting...
Status =   0, Distance =    37 mm, Signal =    232 kcps/spad
Status =   0, Distance =    38 mm, Signal =    234 kcps/spad
Status =   0, Distance =    35 mm, Signal =    233 kcps/spad
Status =   0, Distance =    36 mm, Signal =    230 kcps/spad
Status =   0, Distance =    39 mm, Signal =    236 kcps/spad
Status =   0, Distance =    35 mm, Signal =    234 kcps/spad
...

I have an Arduino R3 Uno, and tested the TOF sensor using that, and it seemed to run endlessly.

Based on reading around, I am guessing this has something to do with the resistors required for I2C connections and some builtin difference between the R4 WiFi and the R3 UNO, but I am not sure where I should start here.

Any help would be much appreciated!
