for the arduino code, there is a noisefilterbox.h file, that has a function called

filterNoiseReductionBox(float AnalogfloatSignalInput,int FilterMode, bool isItStable) it does a few things

AnalogfloatSignalInput is the signal to input into it.

FilterMode can be 0,1,2,3

FilterMode==0 is no filter so you can see default noise.

FilterMode==1 is 10x filter. it is still somewhat fast, but you can see ripples. 

FilterMode==2 is 100x filter. it is very slow to respond, but noise free.

FilterMode==3 this is hybrid mode filter, it is quite fast and noise free.

here is an actual VL53L0x sensor with a case enclosure for sensor and sampling about 30 to 50 times a second. the plotter of Arduino outputs the data. i used a baud of 19200. you can see the noise is +/-6mm

here is what it looks like using FilterMode==1 a 10x sample filter

signal is still noisy but it is now a smaller scale, it is +/- 2

here is FilterMode==2 

with 100x filtering noise is reduced to +/- 0.5mm but the slew rate, or rate of change is really slow. with 30-50 samples a second, it takes at least 1300 samples to  become stable so between 26 to 43 seconds per 

measurement.
