VL53L1X ToF

The VL53L1X ToF is an I²C device in the LabWired part catalog. Its catalog type is vl53l1x. It connects to the MCU over I²C at the default address 0x29. It has 4 pins. A registered peripheral model runs in the engine: the firmware talks to it over the real bus and gets device-accurate responses.

How to simulate the VL53L1X ToF in LabWired

  1. Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
  2. Add the VL53L1X ToF (catalog type vl53l1x).
  3. Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board.
  4. Connect SDA and SCL to the I²C data and clock pins of the board.
  5. Run the firmware. It finds the part on the I²C bus at 0x29 and reads and writes it as on hardware.

Other parts at I²C address 0x29

These catalog parts use the same default address. Two parts at one address cannot share one bus segment. A bus switch such as the TCA9548A puts them on separate segments.
