In this tutorial you will use the Nicla Vision to detect proximity, thanks to the Time of Flight (ToF) sensor **VL53L1X**.

This tutorial goes through how to create a sketch that will blink the built-in RGB LED and control the speed of its blink with the proximity values. It can be useful for future projects where there is a need to control the camera only when something is detected in front of the sensor.

### Include the Needed Libraries and Objects Declaration

First of all declare the sensor's class so you can access it later on in your sketch. We use variables to control the time elements in the sketch. This will make sure that the readings stay accurate over time.

### Initialize the Proximity Sensor and the LED

Inside the setup you need to initialize and configure the proximity sensor. Also the RGB LED needs to be set as an output to make it light up and enable us to change its behavior.

## Conclusion

In this tutorial we went through how to get readings from the ToF sensor. And how use these readings to change how the built-in LED behaves. At the end of the tutorial you can also find a reference list for the ToF library.
