Posted on June 07, 2018 at 01:00You are most of the way there. Don't quit now. There is a bit of code called X-Cube-vl53l1x. It's available at:

With the code you have written, you are all set. Copy the calls from the main.c and it will just work for you.
And this code makes a pretty handy reference - even if you don't use an ST processor.
For example:
status = VL53L1_WaitDeviceBooted(Dev);
status += VL53L1_DataInit(Dev);
status += VL53L1_StaticInit(Dev);
status += VL53L1_SetPresetMode(Dev,VL53L1_PRESETMODE_LITE_RANGING);
status += VL53L1_SetDistanceMode(Dev, VL53L1_DISTANCEMODE_MEDIUM);
status += VL53L1_SetMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds(Dev,20000);
//status += VL53L1_SetInterMeasurementPeriodMilliSeconds(Dev, 100);
status += VL53L1_GetMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds(Dev, &pMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds);
printf('Timing Budget = %d\n', pMeasurementTimingBudgetMicroSeconds);
status += VL53L1_StartMeasurement(Dev);
if(status){
printf('YOU DID SOMETHING WRONG \n');
while(1);
}
if (isInterrupt){
do // interrupt mode
{
__WFI();
if(IntCount !=0 ){
IntCount=0;
status = VL53L1_GetRangingMeasurementData(Dev, &RangingData);
if(status==0){
printf('%d,%d,%.2f,%.2f,%d\n', RangingData.RangeStatus,RangingData.RangeMilliMeter,
RangingData.SignalRateRtnMegaCps/65536.0,RangingData.AmbientRateRtnMegaCps/65336.0,HAL_GetTick());
}
status = VL53L1_ClearInterruptAndStartMeasurement(Dev);
}
}
while(1);
