highroads 0:47f8714fe967 9 * The VL6180x by ST micro is a time of flight range finder that
highroads 0:47f8714fe967 10 * uses pulsed IR light to determine distances from object at close
highroads 0:47f8714fe967 11 * range. The average range of a sensor is between 0-200mm

highroads 0:47f8714fe967 13 * Resources:
highroads 0:47f8714fe967 14 * This library uses the Arduino Wire.h to complete I2C transactions.
