Build a basic VL53L0X circuit with labeled pins, component values and connection guidance.

VL53L0X in a circuit

Power, I²C, shutdown and optional interrupt.

Bare VL53L0X connected to a 2.8 V host with I2C pullups, supply bypass, shutdown and interrupt.
Configure 2V8 I/O mode in the ST API; pin 8 remains floating.

Connect it, step by step

Follow the component values and pin connections

Power

Connect both supplies and all five ground contacts.

Control

Fit pull-ups, drive XSHUT and connect the I²C host.

Measure

Initialize, calibrate, start ranging and verify result status.
