Hi Dr Azzy
I can probably hack something that works for my needs, but I don't have the time to develop a proper library right now. The unit has several operating modes and options which would need a more structured approach that I can give it.
If I find myself with more time than I thought I may give it a go, but wouldn't suggest anyone waits for a full solution from this direction.
Question remains though, is the Espruino community doing things where this type of sensor is of interest? LIDAR seems to be a big thing for positional awareness but poses some issues of scan speed and data crunching capability that perhaps isn't in Espruino's sweet spot.
Another sensor in the same area is the RPLIDAR:-
