Hello all, 

   I want to modify the sensor i2c address. So, i can use more than 1 VL53L0X Sensors.

I see AN4846. On page 5/7 it mentioned for API integration guide which is UM2039. In API guide (UM2039), page 20/26 6.6 mentioned for I2C address. 

Question is: How to program the VL53L0X ?

                    What development board, i have to purchase ? Eventually, i want to use multiple VL53L0X with non-stm processor. 

Thank You in advance !

Hello Swapneel,

The VL53L0X is programmed by its API (simple set of C functions).

The API (stsw-img005) can be downloaded from here:

The P-Nucleo-53L0A1 would be a good starter kit for you. 

You can control up to 3 ToF sensors with this kit.

The code source example (X-CUBE-53L0A1) can be downloaded here:

Thanks
