Public Member Functions

void configure (int=0, int=0xc4)
 Configure the different modes of the Lidar.
void beginContinuous (bool=true, char=0x04, char=0xff, int=0xc4)
 Sets the Lidar to read continuously, indicating its ready to be read from by the modepin pulling down, a cerntain amount of times.
int distance (bool=true, bool=true, int=0xc4)
 Calclulates distance through I2C protocol of activating sensor with a write, then a write for the register, and a read.
int distanceContinuous (int=0xc4)
 1.) Set Lidar circuit for continuous mode 2.) utilize the beginContinous function and configure as desired This function returns distance without any need to activate the lidar senore through a write command, instead the mode pin pulls down when the lidar is ready for a read Returns distance as a integer in cm

Detailed Description

My LidarLite class Used for controlling and interacting with the LidarLitev2 Example: 

   //Measures distance from the lidarlite and prints it through serial
   #include "LidarLitev2.h"
   LidarLitev2 Lidar(p28, p27);
   Serial pc(USBTX,USBRX);


       Timer dt;
   int main()
   {   
    
       pc.baud(115200);
       Lidar.configure();
       dt.start();
       while(1){
           pc.printf("distance = %d cm frequency = %.2f Hz\n", Lidar.distance(), 1/dt.read());
           dt.reset();
       }
   }
