VL53L0X: Time Of Flight sensor
##############################
Overview
********
This sample periodically measures distance between vl53l0x sensor
and target. The result is displayed on the console.
It also shows how we can use the vl53l0x as a proximity sensor.
Requirements
************
This sample uses the VL53L0X sensor controlled using the I2C interface.
