Lidar Lite Pinout is on page 8 of this datasheet: http://www.robotshop.com/media/files...32i500s011.pdf

RoboRio onboard I2C pinout is displayed on the silkscreen of the robot itself.

Simply connect RoboRio -> Lidar Lite:

GND -> Signal/Power Ground
3.3V -> POWER_IN
SCL -> I2C Clock (SCL)
SDA -> I2C Data (SDA)

My V1 sensor worked fine w/the 3.3V power pin from the RoboRIO onboard I2C connector - but you could provide it 5V power instead from one of the 5V RoboRio power rails (or the VRM) and that should work too.
