jremington:values from the VL6180X sensor, using the I2C bus and the Wire library.
Send a Telegram message when the proper value is received.
But first, write a program that just receives values from the VL6180X sensor, and get it working properly, before adding anything else.

sorry i tried not using reading a digital pin , i'm using the reading values from the VL6180X sensor at first it work well it shown the range and the telegram message send , but the message wont send successfully it will stuck there .
<Range: 8
If you want help, why did you not post your latest code, using code tags?

after that it will shown sending which message but it did not successfully sending to the chat group .
What you seem to be saying is that this bit of code executed properly
void sendTelegramMessage2(){
String message2 = "EMPTY!"; //Empty
if(bot.sendMessage(CHAT_ID, message2, "Markdown2")){
Serial.println("TELEGRAM Message 2 Successfully sent");
}
telegramButton2PressedFlag = false;
}
and printed "TELEGRAM Message 2...", but nothing was received on the other end.
If so, that may not be a problem with the sending program.
Write a little program that just sends and receives those messages, and verify correct operation before adding all the other stuff.
By the way, use of Strings in Arduino causes memory problems and program crashes. We don't recommend them.

yeah i testing using ultrasonic its working now i'm testing VL6180X.
The code is a mess.
For example, this does nothing useful, and the variable telegramButton2PressedFlag is never tested or used for anything:
if(sensor.readRangeContinuousMillimeters()>80) {
{
telegramButton2PressedFlag = true;
}

yeah thank you. i have cleaning up my code . now its work thanks for your help.
