Summary

In this chapter, we learned about distance sensors. We looked at how the sensors operate and how to attach them.

We learned more about the I2C bus and then saw how to electrically connect these VL53L1X distance sensors.

We then looked at the operating modes of the VL53L1X sensor and wrote code to get readings from one. Finally, we finished with a behavior to avoid walls using this sensor.

In the next chapter, we will gain remote control of our robot by adding Bluetooth.
