Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

sonar_vl53l1x_init()

Event Functions

These event functions are called in each cycle of the module event loop.

sonar_vl53l1x_event()

Periodic Functions

These functions are called periodically at the specified frequency from the module periodic loop.

sonar_vl53l1x_read()
- Frequency in Hz: 50.
- Autorun: LOCK
  Periodic function automatically starts after init and can't be stopped.
