.. zephyr:code-sample:: vl53l0x
   :name: VL53L0X Time Of Flight sensor
   :relevant-api: sensor_interface

   Get distance data from a VL53L0X sensor (polling mode).

Overview
********

This sample periodically measures distance between vl53l0x sensor
and target. The result is displayed on the console.
It shows the usage of all available channels including private ones.

Requirements
************

This sample uses the VL53L0X sensor controlled using the I2C interface.

Building and Running
********************

This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires a VL53L0X
sensor, which is present on the disco_l475_iot1 board.
