Need HELP getting started with VL53L5CX - Nucleo L476RG

[Eriol]

Hello everybody!
I would really appreciate if you find some time to help me with my project. 
I want to take distance data from VL53L5CX module, which I have connected with Nucleo L476RG board exactly as in the picture uploaded.

I just want this data to be printed in serial port, 4x4, 8x8 matrix would be great. Need some real help step by step, also with the scripts in CubeIDE as I am a new enthusiast in this whole thing.

Thanks in advance,
Eriol

These are the exact pin connections(L476RG board)

What do you mean here by, "this whole thing" ?

It sounds like you are not familiar with C programming? C Programs aren't usually described as "scripts".

In that case. it might be best to start with that on a PC - most microcontroller materials will assume (at least) a basic understanding of C.

Also, learning C on a microcontroller adds a few complications not found on a PC.

Here are some learning & reference materials for C:

Hi Andrew, thanks for replying!
I mean I am new with CubeIDE and Nucleo boards. Also I am not much familiar with C, as you mentioned.
Tried some programing, but still can't initialise the sensor.  I have added the necessary drives, vl53l5cx uld library, still can't find the solution. Thats why I asked a step by step guidance, maybe a main.c file that works, or if you can help with a similar project.

Thank you!

Then I would certainly suggest that this is a bit ambitious as a starting point.

I would strongly suggest that you start with the basics to gain a good understanding of the part, the tools, etc:
