Hi Guys,

I have a PulsedLight LIDAR Lite V1 that seems to have some unusual behavior when being interfaced via I2C to an Arduino.

Using the default settings, the LIDAR Lite is supposed to be able to be sampled at approximately 50Hz. Using the sample code provided, the sample rate seems to be 50Hz for the first 300-500 samples, then the sample rate dramatically drops to 8Hz.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?

Thanks,
