A simple ruler with VL53. No Wi-Fi, only Direct USB
VAR DIST_SM, DIST_INCH // DIST_SM: raw distance in millimeters
// DIST_INCH: converted distance in inches

// DIST will update with a new measurement every 500 ms
PAUSE 1000 // Wait for the first valid sensor reading
WHILE(1) // Continuous measurement loop

PRINT DIST_INCH, // Print distance in inches
PAUSE 100 // Wait 100 ms before printing again
WEND // End of loop
