Need information on TOF10120 laser sensor

Sensors

sparkfun,
I’m looking for information on how to program a TOF10120 laser distance sensor with a pic microcontroller. Everything I find on the internet is about Arduino and the data sheets are often in Chinese.

I haven’t found anything about how to configure it, how to initialize a reading and how to read back the measured distance with I2C. I also haven’t been able to find anything about how the data is formatted or anything about the I2C waveforms.

Any help would be more than I have now.

Thanks for the reply.
There’s some good info in this site but it’s mostly for Arduino and I’m going to drive this unit with a pic microcontroller.

I think the English version of the command ref you were hoping for is in there.

brow,
There is a link to a datasheet but it’s in Chinese.
I downloaded the zip file you included and it’s all for Arduino.

brow,
I see, but I can’t read a .docx file with the system I’m currently working on. When I get to one I’ll post about it.

Thanks.

brow,
I was able to read the .docx file which had a lot of good info but it didn’t discuss I2C or the registers at all.
