Adding the VL53L1X Driver to an STM32Cube Project

That’s good to hear! For using printf(), I would start with the following guide:

Easily Use printf on STM32

Aside from blinking an LED, printing informative messages to a serial console is perhaps the simplest, most straightforward, and most common technique employed when debugging embedded projects. While most platforms have their own APIs capable transmitting data over a UART bus, they all lack the power and popularity of the printf() function. Unfortunately, to utilize this function in an embedded C application, simply including the stdio library is usually insufficient. In the case of an STM32 pro…

If you’re still having trouble receiving output with PuTTY, please attach a screenshot of your session configuration. I would also suggest trying another serial monitor application and see if you get the same results. TeraTerm is very popular and simpler to use than PuTTY.
