Conclusion

Over the temperature range -30°C to +85°C, VL6180X reports a distance measurement

varying linearly with the temperature and with a constant offset.

In a system submitted to a large variation of temperature and having the temperature

information, the VL6180X behavior allows the user to develop a simple algorithm to

compensate this offset in temperature..
