Lidar Lite v3HP I2C Continuous Measurement

Sensors Distance

Hello All,

I was looking over the Garmin Document for the v3HP and maybe I missed something. I see you can set the ACQ_CONFIG_REG (Register 0x04) so that the mode line outputs the current state (busy) or not. My question is can the v3HP be set up to continuously measure and then have the mode pin interrupt the host MCU when a measurement is complete, or must the ACQ_COMMAND register be written to non zero in order to start the measurement process?

Best Regards,

Hi BMohlman,

This is a bit beyond the scope of our support since we do not manufacture the LIDAR Lite v3HP but I do not believe that register needs to be a non-zero to start measurement process. Looking at the [cpp source file for the Garmin Arduino Library, there are several different modes set there with the ACQ_Config_REG set to 0x00.

I hope this helps.](LIDARLite_Arduino_Library/src/LIDARLite_v3HP.cpp at master · garmin/LIDARLite_Arduino_Library · GitHub)
