hi all,
Looking for ideas here - we use LabView on our robot and had good success last season with the LidarLite. I picked up another one over the summer to continue playing with it to explore other modes - but it is the V2 "blue label" product. Looks identical to the original, same connector, same I2C commands claimed in the manuals.

Unfortunately it's not plug-compatible. I've gone back and forth with their tech support but they don't have any LabView expertise. They did say they had to modify their demo code quite a bit to get it to work, so I assume they also found out it's not a plug swap with the V1.

I suspect there are changes needed in the WPILib I2C area but it's all pretty opaque since it eventually calls out to C routines and isn't fully implemented as a LabView function.

Has anyone else looked into the new version of these units? They are inexpensive and work really well on the robot. We'd love to continue using them but so far no luck in getting it to work.

thanks for any help!
