Can anyone help this old guy with connections and code to connect a Lidar-Lite V4 to an Arduino Pro Mini. I am trying to put together a distance sensor to measure the distance between my front car bumper and a curb or other obstacle. Appreciate your help.
Hi,
The Lidar-Lite V4 can be directly connected to an external micro-controller running a custom user application.
Here is more info on the communication protocol of the product: http://static.garmin.com/pumac/LIDAR-Lite%20LED%20v4%20Instructions_EN-US.pdf
Here is the library for Arduino: https://github.com/garmin/LIDARLite_Arduino_Library
This code library provides quick access to all the basic functions of the LIDAR-Lite via the Arduino interface.
I hope this helped you.

Thanks so much. I’m slowly working through the process of files needed for the DUE, downloading the sketch from Github and so on. Starting up with new hardware is fun but can be challenging specially when you are 82 years old and can’t remember the details of how you did it last time. Thanks for your encouragement.
