ToF works from UI, not when using ampy

Hi,

the ToF sample program does not work when running via ampy. But it works from the UIFlow.

How to reproduce:

• Connect a ToF sensor to the M5 stack (Firmware UIFlow 1.3.2)
• Get the sample ToF program
• Run via UI. Should work fine.
• Copy&paste the Python code into a file named tof.py
• Disconnect M5Stack
• Run ampy reset to get the M5Stack into non-UIFlow (ampy v1.0.7 used)
• Run ampy run tof.py

You'll see that the distance is and stays 0
