VL53L0X Problems

Projects Programming
1

Novice Arduino sketch writer here. I am creating a RADAR scope type project with an Arduino, VL53L0X laser distance sensor, 1602 LCD to display distance as text , TFT LCD to display distance as sweeping RADAR/SONAR type image, and a servo to sweep the VL53L0X back an forth. I have been building the code in segments but have reached a wall. A look at the first "Description" lines in the ".ino" sketch would help explain, I will try to figure out how to upload the sketch and Fritzing wiring diagram here.

Good for you. Will you post the code and schematics when done?

Don't know how to post the code, wiring sketch, etc.

Do you have any questions. If not, maybe the better place is in the Exhibition section.

Read the forum guidelines to see how to properly post code and some good information on making a good post.
Use the IDE autoformat tool (ctrl-t or Tools, Auto format) before posting code in code tags.

Hand draw a schematic, photograph and post it. Once you have an image file you can just drag the file into a post and drop it.

If you want to do a simple CAD drawn schematic, see here: How to make a schematic to post.

Hand draw your project, take a pic, upload the pic in this edit box using the upload button.

Write your sketch (code) and format it in your IDE. Copy it. Paste it here by clicking the code thingy (</>)

For a complicated project like this a hand drawn BLOCK diagram is fine, but a proper schematic is worth the time it takes to draw it.
And as we have seen countless times a camera will render a sheet of white paper as mid grey unless you adjust the settings.

Thank you
