Hello I have not your required answer, even worse, I have another question,
I have recently acquired VL6180X kit too, I followed the kit instructions and it seems that everything is well installed. However I was not able to connect with VL6180X shield by means of the Windows Application ... Have you got run the Windows GUI connection? The standalone mode was my second option ... but I can't work with the GUI ... : ( Could you help me with this?
Have you looked the video (http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/jsp/common/flv.jsp?url=https://s3.amazonaws.com/st-videos/VL6180X.flv&width=576&height=324&title=Getting%20started%20with%20VL6180X%20explorer%20kit) ?

Hi Jorge and Josh,
I have the same problem with my VL6180X explorers : I'm not able to connect with VL6180X shield with the Windows Explorer GUI. The COM port is detected however the connection fails 3 seconds after clicking the "connect" button.
I have tried also the shield on Arduino with this lib https://salwach.pl/VL6180X Source code https://salwach.pl/sites/default/files/VL6180X.ZIP based on https://github.com/kriswiner/VL6180X
http://air.imag.fr/index.php/File:VL6180X-001.jpg http://air.imag.fr/index.php/VL6180X However, the init() method fails.
Have you progress in your investigations on the VL6180X explorer shield ?
Kind regards
