Code:
LIDAR myLidar = new LIDAR(port.kOnboard);
then in teleopPeriodic() I did:
Code:
myLidar.update();
System.out.println(myLidar.getPID());
However, 0.0 is only ever printed out to the Riolog. (I also tried having the myLidar.start() and myLidar.stop() inside of teleopInit and disabledInit respectively.

Thanks in advance,

It's been discovered that the on board I2C port is having communication problems, use the I2C on the MXP port until the issue is resolved.
