Go to Post The students that I have known in FIRST over my 8 years of involvement have been far more inspired by the competition and some of the jaw dropping creations of "elite" teams than by anything that we made ourselves. - MattB703 [more]

Yes - you have to separate the write and the read. Took me a while to figure it out and Kevin sent me a VI with just a Read command wrapped in it (I'll attach). Attachment 19780

Here's my Begin.vi to set up the LidarLite (just a screen shot):

Thanks everyone for your help. I hope this also helps others!

FYI - This works, and is required, on the v3 Garmin Branded LidarLite as well. Thanks for figuring this out, it was driving us crazy!
