The LIDAR-Lite appears to have a fixed slave address - 0xC4.
LIDAR-Lite Spec
Why would they not make it configurable? Seems like that would prevent one from being able to use multiple LIDAR-Lites on the same I2C bus.
Maybe I'm missing something. The LIDAR's slave address must be configurable somehow.  |
Okay, I discovered the slave address can't be changed on the current version of LIDAR_Lite. From PulsedLight's
forum, I learned a work-around for this. Using a DIO pin for each LIDAR, connect pin 2 of connector J1 on the LIDAR to a dedicated DIO pin on the RIO, using this as a "device select" line. Just before and just after the Write/Read sequence to each LIDAR, set teh LIDAR's device select high and low, respectively. We will try this out, using a C++ application.
