vi for the Garmin LIDAR Lite rangefinder

[wddanie]

Does anyone have a vi for the Garmin LIDAR Lite v3 ? I searched and did not find one and only saw one other question about this low cost and powerful sensor. I have it running well on an Arduino board but now need to collect and plot distance data from it and would prefer to use Labview and LINX to control the lidar sensor through the Arduino board. I thought this would have been done on a First Robotics project but I did not find any discussions in their forums.

Thanks,

Doug

If you have code that is working based on libraries for Arduino, there are two primary options.

1) You could attempt to build the C code into a DLL and call this in LabVIEW or

2) You could open up the libraries and recreate them in LabVIEW using NI-VISA

I was unable to find a ready-made VI for this, unfortunately.
