# Ranging modes This example shows the differences between ranging modes of VL53L8CX (mode continuous and autonomous). For both modes, it initializes the VL53L8CX ULD, set the mode, and starts a ranging to capture 10 frames. ## Get started In order to run this example you need to increase the main stack size else you will get a stack overflow error. Run `idf.py menuconfig`. Go to Component Config -> ESP System settings and increase the Main task stack size to at least `7168`.
To create a project from this example, run:
idf.py create-project-from-example "rjrp44/vl53l8cx=1.0.0:ranging_modes"
