Introduction

The purpose of this document is to describe how to set up and run the VL53L5CX-SATEL directly connected to an
STM32 Nucleo64 board.

The VL53L5CX-SATEL breakout boards can be used for easy integration into customer devices.

The PCB section supporting the VL53L5CX module is perforated so that developers can break off the mini PCB for use in
a 3.3 V supply application using flying wires. This makes it easier to integrate the VL53L5CX-SATEL breakout boards into
development and evaluation devices due to their small size.

The VL53L5CX-SATEL is designed to connect remotely the VL53L5CX sensor to any type of electronic controller. To quick
start such application, this document explains where to connect this board to the 

NUCLEO-F401RE board

, where to find the

dedicated code example, and how to make it operate.
