VL53L1X and nrf52832

Doesn't the sensor manufacturer have a support forum?

EDIT

Yes, they do - it's linked from the Product Page:

https://www.st.com/en/imaging-and-photonics-solutions/vl53l1x.html

EDIT 2

which also links you to driver software; eg,

The VL53L1X_ULD API is a set of C functions controlling the VL53L1X device (e.g. init and ranging) to enable the development of end-user applications. The VL53L1X ULD is an optimized version of the initial VL53L1X driver. For example, in the VL53L1X ULD, the API contains only four files instead of 35, and the code footprint is much smaller (2.3 KB vs. 9 KB in Flash). The API is structured in a way that it can be compiled on any kind of platform through a well isolated platform layer (mainly for low-level I2C access). One example code is provided to show how to use the API and perform ranging measurements.

[quote userid="80575" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/50449/vl53l1x-and-nrf52832/201481"]i do not get which pin to use as output.[/quote]

Well that's nothing to do with Nordic!

If the sensor documentation is not clear enough for you, then you need to take that up with the sensor manufacturer - it is not Nordic's product!

[quote userid="80575" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/50449/vl53l1x-and-nrf52832/201481"]is vl53l1x and vl53l0x are pin to pin compatible???? i am not getting how to start with it..[/quote]

Again, you need to contact the sensor manufacturer about that!

i have gone through vl53l1x datasheet...but i do not get which pin to use as output...where to connect it ..how to write software for it....i dont get any registers address for vl53l1x....i am using twi_sensor example thought it would be easy to use...

i found drivers for vl53l0x interfaced to nrf51 though.....but not getting how should i convert it for nrf52....and trying to use that too ....but one "sequence.h" file is missing and i can not find it anywhere else on internet....i have downloaded from github.....

is vl53l1x and vl53l0x are pin to pin compatible???? i am not getting how to start with it...

i am using nrf52832 sdk15.3

need help.

What "help", exactly, do you need ?

What have you tried?

Where are you stuck?

Remember that the vl53l1x - or any sensor - neither knows nor cares what microcontroller you use.

The only thing that matters is that you do whatever the sensor's documentation tells you it requires.
