Useful video. Clear, well chosen info and no fluff. Thanks!

Hi man, it's clear and helpfull! In the begin the wiring was my problem, because I'm a fully blind person thats playing with arduino to make my own solutions to have access in my life to to things myself. I use this distance controller on my drone MJX Bugs 5W to fly independently in my own garden. CAUTION, doe not flying blind with drones before you've trained verry much times in a school or with other good trained pilots!!!! Thanks for sharing this demo and explanation here! Helpfull, go for other and many demo's here plz.!!!

[ljubomirculibrk]

Real deal, works whit mega from the start. Thanks

[davidcastellanos]

Thanks for that amazing video, is very helpful for me

[frankjonathansaenz]

Thanks for the video. Nice explained!!

Hello Sir, Thank you for the informative video. I have a problem when I try to use A4 and A5, the data is not send to the monitor screen. Do I have to specify any pin declaration if I directly use analog pin instead of SDA and SCL pin?

[EdsGartenBahn]

Thank you for this video, it is very helpful. Just one remark: you are measuring the total width of the module incorrect, it's not 23.7 mm, it's 25 mm.

[contrarian]

The specs only give the max range. What's the minimum distance you can read?

[tech-freakengineer]

Very helpful video. I would like to know the minimum distance it can measure.

Great vid! A question, can i use two of these sensors? What i mean is, how can i modify the code for it to show me the measuring of two VL53L0X at the same time? Thank you in advance.

[blackdessert]

i had problem with this sensors. i need to measuring 50.25mm but this sensor show only in integer value

[Arjun_Vasudevan]

After adding the VL53L0X library, the word Distance gets coloured for you but it doesn't for me, why is it so ?? I have the same library as you have

[rassamitutpansomboon]

I have some question, we need to connect xshut to Arduino? and responsibilities at work of xshut ?

[minnhat]

why i cannot combine it with the servo motor, everytime i insert code to control a servo, the results are -1mm, timeout. plese help me

[pekka]

hi do u know how i can control stepper motor with this sensor... please make video for that :P clockwise and counter clockwise depend distance..

[mohamedjundi]

The code uploads notmally and I do not gst any error, but the serial port is just empty

[RonFreimann]

I wonder if this sensor works on liquids as well? Water, oils etc.

[seismocraft]

Hi, i am using this sensor in one of my projects but I can't get it to work it just shows the same number again and again.

[HuyVo-qujg]

hi it's very good. but can we use measured signal to control stepper motor? For example, the sensor always keeps a distance of 70 cm from the object, if the distance changes, the sensor will detect and control the motor to operate to keep at 70cm. i want to make Z axis auto. whether it is possible. do let me know.

[ezrakoper]

Will the new i2c address remain after turning power off and on?
