PiicoDev Distance Sensor VL53L1X | Microbit Guide

Let's connect a PiicoDev Distance Sensor to a Micro:bit and perform some distance measurements readings. This tutorial will guide you through wiring, uploading example MicroPython code in Thonny, and remixing the example to include new functionality.

The PiicoDev Distance Sensor uses a VL53L1X which can measure indoor ranges up to about 4m with 1% repeatability!
