Can anybody tell me if the 

VL53L1X

 device address is stored in volatile or non-volatile memory? I have multiple sensors in application and i don't want to have reset/shudown lines for every single one of them just for doing address assignment. So question is - is it possible to permanently pre-configure the device address?

#address #vl53l1x

No way to store the I2C address permanently. You need to re-program the I2C address every time you power up the device.

You may consider TCA9548A  (an I2C switch) to connect more I2C devices with the same addresses.
