Once you have played with the graphical User Interface (GUI) in the presence code (STSW-IMG048) you want to try programming.
Find the .zip file and unzip it.
navigate to: C:\...\VL53L5_PresenceHODKit_1.0.82\Projects\Multi\Applications\VL53L5\PresenceHODKit\STM32CubeIDE\STM32F401RE-Nucleo\
(Don't worry about the L5 above. Same as L7, but with a wider Field of View. And yours might not be 1.0.82)
At this point you are going to want to have STM32CubeIDE installed on your computer. It's free. Download it from ST.com
Get STM32CubeIDE open, select "file", 'open project from file system' and give it the directory name where you see the .cprogect file. IC:\...\VL53L5_PresenceHODKit_1.0.82\Projects\Multi\Applications\VL53L5\PresenceHODKit\STM32CubeIDE\STM32F401RE-Nucleo
From here you should be able to compile and run. Then try debugging the program and see what it is doing.
Get that going and you will be up to speed. There is a compiled library that does the presence stuff.
C:\...\VL53L5_PresenceHODKit_1.0.82\Middlewares\ST\PresenceDetect\HODMZ
You can bring that library to other machines and compilers. But if it's not an ARM processor you are going to need some support. (In this case open a support ticket and I will support you.)
