Garmin Lidar lite V3 vs PulsedLight Inc LIDAR Lite V2

Post by sanchezr_c137 »

Hello,

I purchased a Garmin Lidar Lite V3 from Adafruit, along with a ESP32 feather. The demo code works flawlessly. I heard the only key difference between this sensor and Pulsed Light Inc's LIDAR Lite V2 is the ordering of pins. So I wire the V2 up accordingly, and the demo code just endlessly prints "system failure" on the screen.

Does anyone know if the two sensors might be compatible with some modification of the Adafruit Circuit Python Library? Any clue what the error message means?

Which demo code are you running (link)?

Are you using the CircuitPython or Arduino example?
