Lab 3

In this lab we create a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor based on the VL53L1X. We use two Tof sensors, and the address of the sensor is hard-wired into the board so the two sensors cannot be addressed individually. The address can be changed while the device is powered (programmatically), or enable/disable the two sensors separately through their shutdown pins. [Make argument for one approach over the other and how you’ll use it]. We also decide the best positioning for them on our robot to best detect future obstacles.

**Considerations:

• Which connections should be detacheable and which should be permanent
• Which side of the sensors the wires are mounted from
• The placement of each sensor in the chassis and how long the wires have to be
