For those interested in following Lidar-Lite developments, PulsedLight3d has published detailed technical information, including a preliminary user manual just released a few days ago:

I'm happy to see the level and quality of detail they're providing, and am really looking forward to getting some real-world metrics; I'll plan to post these soon after we get our hands on the first units.
