VL53L4CX Interface with STM32F030 DEMO Board

[Anirudh_balaji]

Hi team,

I am new to the STM32 Cube IDE environment and would like to interface and control the VL53L4CX Time-of-Flight sensor using an STM32F030 DEMO Board. I kindly seek your guidance and support in achieving this.

Here are the details of the hardware I am working with:

• MCU Board: STM32F030 DEMO BOARD V1.1
• TOF Sensor Module: VL53L4CX

I would greatly appreciate any resources, sample code, or advice you can provide to help me get started.

Looking forward to your support.

Thanks and regards,
Anirudh

If you bought the x-nucleo-53l4a1 then just plug the board onto your nucleo. If you bought the satel-vl53l4 then there is an app note on how to hook it up. 
the next bit is tricky, but let’s cheat. Download the API from the ST web site.  It will be something like stsw—img0xx. Then look for the example. This example runs on the stm32-f401. But using the stm32-xcubeIDE (download from St.com) Chang the MCU. Learning the IDE is a bit of a trick. But there are tons of videos. 
have fun.

Hi John,

Thank you for the response, but unfortunately, I only happen to have an STM32F030 DEMO Board to work with, Thus I am seeking guidance. 

Additionally, is vl53l4 only compatible with Nucleo boards? Correct me if I am wrong, but if that is not the case, can you please guide me in establishing communication between STM32F030 and VL53L4CX?

I am also available to schedule a call with the ST team to discuss and resolve this. I look forward to your support.

Thanks and regards,
Anirudh
