Review on TF-Luna Lidar Sensor for Drone/Robot Obstacle Avoidance - Short-Range Distance Single-Point Ranging Finder Module with UART / I2C Compatibility for Pixhawk and Raspberry Pi - SmartFly Info by Amicz Kakaruk

Revain Photo by TF Luna Wiring connected to laptop USB port is wrong! Pins from left to right (1-6) seen from lens side: +5V, RXD/SDA, TXD/SCL, GND, CFG, MUX cable before blind plugging. Documents and a decent test app showing real time lag graphs are available here on benewake (choose download docs link): http://en.benewake.com/product/detail/5e1c1fd04d839408076b6255.html Looks like a reliable device. I tried serial output in a GUI app and the output is responsive and stable. I have yet to evaluate the accuracy as well as the I2C mode (pull CFG to GND for I2C mode - leave /NC open for serial mode).
