下の図はRaspberry PiのI2C端子にTF Mini Plusを接続した様子です．0x12のところにTF Mini Plusがあるようです．ここまではいい感じです．
この後，I2C経由で距離を得るための方法について調べたところ，こちらのフォーラムにたどり着きました．この中に書かれていた下記プログラムで距離が得られそうです．

# end class

print(tf.get_reading())
実行すると，距離や温度などが得られることを確認できました．あとはこれをPICのC言語へ落とし込めばというところです．
コマンドラインi2c***でどうにかならんか検討したところ，次のようにすればi2cdump -y 1 0x12動作しました．
i2cset -y 1 0x12 0x5A 0x05 0x00 0x01 0x60 i i2cdump -y 1 0x120x5A 0x05 0x00 0x01 0x60は，データシートによるとI2Cのときにデータを取得するために用いられるコマンドの様です．そのコマンドを送ったのち，値を取りに行けばよいみたいです．上の例ではi2cdumpを使いましたが，i2cgetで1バイトずつ取得しても大丈夫でした．
