I was able to take the
Adafruit VL53L0X Time of Flight Distance Sensor
and combine it with all my recent LCD learnings to produce something that outputs a distance measurement as shown above.
Here is the circuit outline:
Note that it is important to ground the ESP32-S2 Thing Plus WROOM to the same ground as the other components.
The code for this project is at:
https://github.com/directorcia/Azure/blob/master/Iot/ESP32-S2/VL53L0X/LCD-Test.cpp
which is pretty straight forward and basically a combination of the sample files for the distance sensor and the LCD display.

One thought on “Displaying distance on LCD screen”
