LIDAR Sensor has arrived!
Just wanted to share that a new LIDAR (laser radar/rangefinder) is out on the market from "PulsedLight3D" for $90 -- Class I laser so it's FIRST legal. Just arrived today in the mail, and I hooked it up to my Arduino:
Did some initial testing via I2C, seems to be very accurate between ~20cm and 650cm (as far as I could test it tonight without finding a larger room), 0.5 deg beam width
Here's a snapshot of my Serial output with distance in cm (~100 Hz samples averaged and output at 5 Hz), sitting on my desk facing up to the ceiling.

We're going to have fun with this!
