Just like that... support for the lidar lite.... That is awesome @DJ.... Now I have an excuse to buy one after my next credit card payment....
Nice one, thanks for fixing the server slide it works like a dream!.
Good to hear!
Thanks much in advance DJ! I'm eagerly checking my mail every day waiting for mine with the slip ring to arrive. Now I won't have to Jerry rig it.
My existing laser is too powerful:

Bill, is that for real?! Lol!
Yes. 150Watts real! It easily burns through rocks. It turns them into glass and sand.
It's lots of fun but something I've studied for dozens of hours so as to not win the Darwin Award, electrocute, blind, or burn holes through anyone.
I'm using it for some graphene supercap experiments based on this study at Rice U:
Graphene Research at Rice U
is that ever neat! I've never seen a laser that powerful in person before. real cool
AWSOME!
