I am using three sensors in my case, working code here


# start ranging
tof.open()
time.sleep(0.50)
tof.start_ranging(VL53L0X.Vl53l0xAccuracyMode.BETTER)

# Set shutdown pin high for the second VL53L0X then
# call to start ranging
GPIO.output(sensor2_shutdown, GPIO.HIGH)
# start ranging
tof1.open()
time.sleep(0.50)
tof1.start_ranging(VL53L0X.Vl53l0xAccuracyMode.BETTER)
