LightRanger 11 Click is a compact add-on board suitable for range-finding and distance-sensing applications. This board features the VL53L7CX, a time-of-flight 8x8 multizone ranging sensor from STMicroelectronics. It is a fast and accurate multizone distance-ranging sensor width of 90° wide FoV. The multizone-ranging output with either 4x4 or 8x8 separate zones, width multitarget detection, and distance measurement in each zone. As a multizone-ranging device, its range is only up to 350cm.
We provide a library for the LightRanger 11 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for LightRanger 11 Click driver.

LightRanger 11 get int pin function. This example demonstrates the use of LightRanger 11 click board by reading and displaying 8x8 zones measurements on the USB UART.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and performs the click default configuration.
Reads all zone measurements approximately every 500ms and logs them to the USB UART as an 8x8 map. The silicon temperature measurement in degrees Celsius is also displayed.
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
