Arduino library to support the X-NUCLEO-6180A1 based on VL6180 ranging sensor. This sensor uses I2C to communicate. An I2C instance is required to access to the sensor. The APIs provide simple distance measure in both polling and interrupt modes.

There are 3 example with the X-NUCLEO-6180A1 library.

• X_NUCLEO_6180A1_HelloWorld: This example code is to show how to get the proximity values of the onboard VL6180 sensor in polling mode.
• X_NUCLEO_6180A1_Asynchronous: This example code is to show how to get the proximity values of the onboard VL6180 sensor using the asynchronous mode.
• X_NUCLEO_6180A1_Interrupt: This example code is to show how to setup the onboard VL6180 sensor using the interrupt mode with continuous measurements. At the beginning the sensor is configured to generate the interrupt on the new sample ready event; pushing the user button, the sensor is configured to generate the interrupt when the measurement is lower than 100 mm; pushing the user button again, the sensor is configured to generate the interrupt when the measurement is higher than 200 mm; pushing the user button again, the sensor is configured to generate the interrupt when the measurement is out of the window range between 100 mm and 200 mm; pushing the user button again the sensor is configured in the initial state and so on.
