There are two API's supported by ST. Our 'standard' driver is more complex, but full featured(ST. The UltraLite driver is really small, but leaves out some of the more esoteric functions of the chip.

The full driver is:

The UltraLite driver is

https://my.st.com/content/my_st_com/en/products/embedded-software/proximity-sensors-software/stsw-img009.html

Determine if you really need the full driver. If the UltraLite driver works for you, it's a lot easier - and smaller.

There are lots of ways to get our code, but if you start with these, I don't think you will be missing any files.

(At least you will have the two you say are missing.)

Give that a try.

​Hi,

Since you are familiar with MBED IDE, perhaps it is more suitable for you to check out the VL53L1X examples or libraries from MBED
