Can the VL53L1X or VL53L0X be cascaded?
I am trying to figure out if I can have these sensors in cascade. I want to attach 3 through each other to limit the ports used on the Arduino and am not sure if it is possible to code and have with either of these sensors.

Technically it is possible. Because these sensors are I2C supported. We can connect up to 128 I2C devices to a single bus. But you'll face some difficulties because you may see that all the sensors have the same I2C address. In that case, you will have to follow some tricks. There are some videos explaining how to use multiple I2C devices with the same I2C address. You can follow them.
