Range Time of Flight (VL53L0X) component
A laser based range sensor designed to provide accurate range infomation for a very narrow sensing beam. Capable of sensing ranges from 50mm to 1200mm. Communication with the device is based on a I2C bus.

Stop Delay |
| On older microcontroller devices there is a potential for the I2C hardware channel to lock up if there is not a 10ms delay between an I2C stop event and the next I2C start event. Most modern microcontrollers will not have a problem so this property can be disabled to speed up the I2C communications. | |
