VL53L5CX CTypes Python Wrapper
CTypes wrapper for the Sitronix VL53L5CX Ultra-light Driver- C source mirror can be found at https://github.com/ST-mirror/VL53L5CX_ULD_driver/tree/lite/en
Prerequisites
You must enable:
- i2c
sudo raspi-config nonint do_i2c 0
If you're not using any i2c devices for which 400KHz is out of range (trackball), you might also want to increase your i2c baud rate.
VL53L5CX requires a firmware upload on startup, and it's slow. Add a baudrate to the i2c line in /boot/config.txt to speed it up:
dtparam=i2c_arm=on,i2c_arm_baudrate=400000
Note: The default baudrate is 200000 (200KHz) and a typical maximum for most devices is 400000 (400KHz), but you can also use 1000000 (1MHz) if you're just driving VL53L5CX sensors.
Installing
- Just run
pip3 install vl53l5cx-ctypes
In some cases you may need to use sudo or install pip with: sudo apt install python3-pip
Latest/development library from GitHub:
- `git clone https://github.com/pimoroni/vl53l5cx-python
cd vl53l5cx-python/librarypython3 setup.py install --user
