Also, if you execute myLidar.start(); in your init area or constructor, you can access myLidar.getDistance() in both autonomous and teleOp methods and allow it to run its own thread, which will help avoid bogging down the rest of your code (because the update() method includes delay timers up to ~10ms to write and read).

We tried the I2C port too and failed. Moved over to the MXP and still getting zeroes.

Using lidar.start() in the teleopInit and calling lidar.getDistance() in teleopPeriodic which is returning zero. Am I missing anything?

Thanks!
