TOF200H TOF400H TOF050H range sensor + esp32

It take me a couple of hours to find documentation for this sensor. But finally i have working code for the Arduino esp32 and I just want to share it here:

/* Arduino ESP32 code to read the tof200h sensor

// Define the serial port
HardwareSerial SerialPort(1);  // Using Serial1 on pins 12 (TX) and 13 (RX)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);                          // Initialize the serial monitor for debugging
  SerialPort.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, 12, 13);  // Initialize the serial port for communication
}

void loop() {
  if (SerialPort.available() >= 7) {
    // Check if there's enough data to extract the range
    byte data[7];
    SerialPort.readBytes(data, 7);

    // Extract the range from bytes at positions 3 and 4
    int range = (data[3] << 8) | data[4];

    // Print the range and the modbus data buffer to the serial monitor for debugging
    Serial.print(" Buffer: ");
    for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) {
      Serial.print("0x");
      Serial.print(data[i], HEX);
      Serial.print(" ");
    }
    Serial.print(" Range: ");
    Serial.println(range);
  }
}
