Hi, so I've run into an issue trying to calculate velocity from the distance data from the Adafruit VL53L0X TOF (Time of Flight) sensor. Basically, I can't get the program to pause between measurements, so that I can calculate speed between two points. Here's my sensor setup (incase its important): …

Thank you so much, I did that, and was able to pinpoint the problem. I noticed that my distance values were outputting as zero. Which made me realize I missed an essential line of code when implementing @MarkT 's suggestion lox.rangingTest(&measure, false); Adding this made the code work. Thank…
