Hello,
This is a desperate call for help after a day unsucessfully trying to make it work!
-
I first tried with an esp8266, connecting directly (no external pulllup) the sensor to I2C bus removing everything I had on other GPIOs.
-
I tried with a different VL53L0X sensor. It didn’t work.
-
I installed an ESP32 board and I tried with a 3rd fresh VL53L0X.
-
The VL53L0X is supposed to be powered on 3.3v. I tried also with 5v.
In all cases I get the same error: “Component vl53l0x.sensor is marked FAILED”
I spent all day without any success, so any help would be moooore than welcome!
This is the full log:

And this is my config on the ESP32:

And finally my config on the esp8266:
