Im wondering if anyone would know how i could get sparkfuns Lidar Lite v3 module working with ros. I have it communicating with a raspberry pi, but im unsure how to get it working with ros. Ive been seeing RPlidar around and was wondering if i could somehow use the existing support for RPlidar, but with the Lidar Lite instead of an actual RPlidar module.
Heres a link to the lidar module i currently have
