 I am completely new to embedded development and i am becoming quite desperate. 
 I have ordered a custom board which has an nrf52840 chip on it and a vl53l1cxvofy1 ToF sensor. The big plan is simply to read the data from the sensor in a loop</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2025 17:57:35 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/126154/communication-with-i2c-sensor-on-custom-board-doesn-t-work" /><item><title>RE: Communication with i2c sensor on custom board doesn't work</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/557134?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 16 Dec 2025 17:57:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:c44f9612-6382-4066-b13f-124dd4351025</guid><dc:creator>Benjamin</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;br /&gt;What board are you using?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Have you tested any other I2C sensors on this board?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could you do an I2C probe using the I2C shell?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add the following to you configuration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;CONFIG_I2C=y&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;CONFIG_SHELL=y&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;code&gt;CONFIG_I2C_SHELL=y&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Doing a logic analyzer trace could also be helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;Benjamin&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
