Heya

Are there any tutorials for using this module with Raspberry pi? All I can seem to find are tutorials for Arduino.

Any assistance would be very grateful

Certainly! While tutorials for using the SEN0590 (VL53L0X Time-of-Flight distance sensor) with Raspberry Pi might be less common compared to Arduino, you can adapt the Arduino tutorials to Raspberry Pi with some adjustments. Here’s a general guide to help you get started:

### Setting Up SEN0590 with Raspberry Pi

1. **Connect Hardware**:
  - Connect the SEN0590 sensor to your Raspberry Pi using the I2C interface. Typically, this involves connecting the SDA (data) and SCL (clock) pins of the sensor to the corresponding GPIO pins on the Raspberry Pi (usually GPIO2 for SDA and GPIO3 for SCL).
  - Ensure your Raspberry Pi is powered and connected to the sensor correctly.

2. **Enable I2C Interface**:
  - Raspberry Pi requires you to enable the I2C interface in the configuration settings. You can do this via the Raspberry Pi Configuration tool (`sudo raspi-config`) or by editing `/boot/config.txt` and ensuring the line `dtparam=i2c_arm=on` is uncommented.
  - Install necessary packages: If not already installed, you may need to install `python3-smbus` and `python3-pip` packages.
  
3. **Install Required Libraries**:
  - You'll need the VL53L0X Python library to interact with the SEN0590 sensor. While the exact library used in Arduino may not directly translate, the underlying principles are similar.
  - One of the common libraries you can use is the `python-vl53l0x` library. You can install it using pip:
    ```
    sudo pip3 install python-vl53l0x
    ```

4. **Sample Python Script**:
  - Here’s a basic example of how you might use the SEN0590 sensor with Raspberry Pi using Python:
  
  ```python
  import time
  import VL53L0X

  # Create a VL53L0X object
  tof = VL53L0X.VL53L0X()

  try:
      # Initialize the sensor
      tof.start_ranging(VL53L0X.VL53L0X_BETTER_ACCURACY_MODE)

      while True:
          distance = tof.get_distance()
          if distance > 0:
              print(f"Distance: {distance} mm")
          else:
              print("Out of range")

          time.sleep(0.1)

  except KeyboardInterrupt:
      print("Measurement stopped by user")
      tof.stop_ranging()
  ```

  - **Explanation**:
    - This script initializes the sensor, starts ranging measurements in better accuracy mode, and continuously reads and prints the distance in millimeters.
    - Adjust the measurement mode (`VL53L0X.VL53L0X_HIGH_SPEED_MODE` or others) based on your accuracy and speed requirements.

5. **Further Adaptations**:
  - Depending on your specific application, you may need to adjust the script to include error handling, calibration routines, or integrate sensor data with other Raspberry Pi projects or applications.

### Additional Resources:  https://www.zouser.com/

- **Datasheet and Documentation**: Refer to the VL53L0X datasheet for detailed technical information and register settings.
- **Community Forums**: Websites like Raspberry Pi forums, Stack Overflow, or the Raspberry Pi subreddit can be helpful for troubleshooting or specific questions.

By following these steps and utilizing the resources mentioned, you should be able to effectively use the SEN0590 (VL53L0X) sensor with your Raspberry Pi, adapting Arduino-based tutorials to suit your needs.

The github repository has python code for raspberry pi. Look in the python/raspberrypi folder.

I think you'll need to write your own library for the Raspberry pi.
