Using LIDAR Lite 2 sensor on RoboRIO I2C port

[EmileH]

IIRC, in 2015, there was no Java/C++ support for the dedicated I2C port on the RoboRIO - it had something to do with it only working in Labview and I don't really know the details. The easy way around this was to use the MXP port which did work (as long as you weren't using this port already for another device). I don't know if this was fixed for 2016 - somebody correct me if I'm wrong

To be safe, use the MXP port. This is my previous post with our code and the base that it came from, but we were using v1 of the LIDAR module (silver label). It is likely that you are using v2 (blue label) and will need to modify the code as the v2 reads differently than v1. Check the manual for instructions on reading from the device.
