Registers for the Qwiic VL53L1X sensor

Sensors Distance

Hi

I am trying to use the qwiic VL53L1X distance sensor using a MyRio and labview.

However i am having some trouble getting any meaningful data out of the sensor.

I have been trying to write to the I2C adress of the Qwiic sensor, using both 0x29, 0x52 and 0x53 as an adress. 0x29 seems to indicate some sort of signal while the other adresses (provided by the datasheet) doesn’t yield any result.

I am having trouble figuring out what register i have to write to, and what i have to write in order to get data from the sensor.

I am not using the Xshut pin, and i am initiating an interrupt on the interrupt pin to allow the next data to be updated, but as i am getting no meaningful data in, it doesn’t seem to matter much.

I cannot find any information on the registers in the datasheet. What register should i write to in order to get the distance measured?

After some more researching on the topic it seems that the registers aren’t available to customers, and to use the range finder one must use the c code driver from the user manual.
