Re: VL53L0X TOF MicroPython/CircuitPython support.

That's great, thanks for reporting back, I really appreciate it !. I should get the TOF sensor in the mail shortly and will test it then. Ideally, I would love to use the sensor with the Huzzah32, but I don't think there is CircuitPython support for that one yet. I read it would run MicroPython ESP32, but I will have to try it first. If that works, your code should work on the Huzzah32 as well (I think...?).
I glanced at the tutorial on porting an Arduino library to CircuitPython, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it for the VL53L0X (some parts of the tutorial are not easy to grasp, at least for me). Additionally, I couldn't find the VL6180X Python library on Adafruit's GitHub repositories, which seems odd (perhaps that library is a work in process?).
