Recently started using mbed to have a look at ST's VL53L0X ranging sensor (since ST doesn't publish register info for the device, so you have to use their API).
I got the device working, however...
1. Too much is stupidly hidden within mbed, you can't even read the mbed header files (I had to export the project and look thru the directories for the header that defines pin names for example). This is made worse by the class descriptions bein incomplete and little more than a list of the methods.
2. As I write, the compiler is stuck on "Status: Initialising ...", I've restarted my end a couple of times but as soon as I try to compile it just hangs there. There's the whole 'everything in the cloud' problem in a nutshell.
Just downloaded CrossWorks from Rowley (www.rowley.co.uk) on the advice of a friend, seems to work fine.
All I have to do now is migrate the project to CrossWorks.
Anyone else had this sort of bother ?
Yours,
TonyWilk
