# vl53l1x-python
Revised Python library for the VL53L1X Laser Ranger.
# Installing
```
sudo pip3 install smbus2
sudo pip3 install VL53L1X2
```
# Usage
```python
import VL53L1X
tof = VL53L1X.VL53L1X(i2c_bus=1, i2c_address=0x29)
tof.open() # Initialise the i2c bus and configure the sensor
tof.start_ranging(1) # Start ranging, 1 = Short Range, 2 = Medium Range, 3 = Long Range
distance_in_mm = tof.get_distance() # Grab the range in mm
tof.stop_ranging() # Stop ranging
```
See examples and tests for more advanced usage.
0.1.2
-----
* @josemotta ported it to python 3.6 as part of a homeassistant component.
Please see basic sample:
from homeassistant.const import TEMP_CELSIUS
from homeassistant.helpers.entity import Entity
REQUIREMENTS = ['smbus2==0.2.2', 'VL53L1X2==0.1.2']
def setup_platform(hass, config, add_devices, discovery_info=None):
"""Setup the sensor platform."""
add_devices([TofSensor()])
class TofSensor(Entity):
"""Representation of a Sensor."""
def __init__(self):
"""Initialize the sensor."""
self._state = None
@property
def name(self):
"""Return the name of the sensor."""
return 'VL53L1X'
@property
def state(self):
"""Return the state of the sensor."""
return self._state
@property
def unit_of_measurement(self):
"""Return the unit of measurement."""
return TEMP_CELSIUS
def update(self):
"""Fetch new state data for the sensor.
This is the only method that should fetch new data for Home Assistant.
"""
self._state = 23
0.0.3
-----
* @NagyAttila upgrade focusing on working with more than 1 range sensors, also changed quit a lot to make it bit more robust.
0.0.2
-----
* Improved search for .so file to pick up arch-specific files.
0.0.1
-----
* Initial release.
