QT PY and VL53L4CX compatibility

Post by ctmorrison »

Are the two subject devices compatible? If so, what do I need to set IRQ_PIN and XSHUT_PIN to?

Yes. They can be used together via the Arduino library:

See pinout page here for basics about the pins:

It appears the VL53L1X may be adequate for my needs (detecting the presence of a car in a parking building space). If I'm using a QT PY with Stemma to what values do I define IRQ_PIN and XSHUT_PIN? If I wire up XSHUT, am I able to put the device to sleep to save battery? I'm a bit unclear as to the pin values for the QT PY and can't seem to find the appropriate documentation.
