Program LIDAR for PWM Java

We are trying to use the LIDAR sensor via PWM. How would we program this using Java? Right now we are trying to time the pulse length of the DigitalInput (would be PulseIn in Arduino), how would we accomplish this?

Re: Program LIDAR for PWM Java

Can you link to a datasheet for the sensor?

Re: Program LIDAR for PWM Java

Just so you know, there's an example code written by a ChiefDelphi user in Java (although it uses I2C).

I wasn't able to find the equivalent function to pulseIn.
