I have been working to get the Holy bro VL53L1X Time-of-Flight (ToF), laser-ranging sensor operational on the M500. We are currently attempting to use the J1008 port, but the QGroundControl software doesn't sense the hardware when plugged in. Any advice on how to get this working properly with your system?
