GY-530 VL53L0X Laser Ranging Sensor Time-of-Flight

[Patou]

Hello,
There is a new i2c sensor to mesure distances : GY-530 VL53L0X Laser Ranging Sensor Time-of-Flight
https://www.aliexpress.com/premium/gy-5 ... ckPrompt=1
Specifications:
Infrared distance measurement module
Model: GY - VL53L0X
Using the chip: VL53L0X
Power supply: 2.8 to 5V
Ranging time: <30ms
Operating mode: Power consumption 20mW
Standby power consumption: 5μA
Distance: <2 meters
Communication: the IIC communication protocol (fully compatible with 3-5 v system)
PCB size: about 13.3x10.5mm/0.51"x0.43"

Looks very interesting compare to HC-SR04 works on i2c bus no dedicated input for this device laser based and not ultrasonic
For the good C+ programmers is there big work to adapt the lux BH 1750 plug-in for this laser distance ?

Hello again,
I do not find a binary file with this plugin included and I am quiet new in compiling and build up binary files
I am currently using : ESP_Easy_mega-20190110_test_core_250_beta_ESP8266_4096.bin
2 Questions :
Is there somewhere a tutorial how to compile and add plugin in binary this will make me more clever ?
Or Do you have a ready made binary file including this plugin ?
I am still leaning ...

With PlatformIO you can build your own build from source.
Anyway, i've a binary, that contains VL53L0X plugin, attached. (however it is compiled from an older codebase, it still works)
