Main Program loop

int main()

{

int range;

// load settings onto VL6180X

VL6180X_Init();

while (

1){

// start single range measurement

VL6180X_Start_Range();

// poll the VL6180X till new sample ready

VL6180X_Poll_Range();

// read range result

range = VL6180X_Read_Range();

// clear the interrupt on VL6180X

VL6180X_Clear_Interrupts();

// send range to pc by serial

pc.printf("%d\r\n", range);

wait(0.1);

}

}

To change the example above to continuous mode:

1.

In the VL6180X_Start_Range() function change the data written to VL6180X from 0x01

to 0x03.

2.

In the while loop, move the function call for VL6180X_Start_Range() to outside the

while loop, immediately after the VL6180X_Init() call.
