Purpose
The X-CUBE-TOF1 software pack is an expansion software package for STM32Cube that aims to ease the development of applications with ST Time-of-Flight sensors. This software gathers ranging sensor drivers for VL53L3CX and VL53L5CX running on STM32. The source code of this package is based on STM32Cube to ease portability and code sharing across different STM32 MCU families.
