Lidar Compatibility

@DJ Hate to put you on the spot, asking if this lidar WILL work with Arc but can you give me your best opinion? Looking at the pics, it says Hitachi-LG LDS.

Still want to pass on radio signals to EZ-B to trigger certain animation scripts. How can I read the radio signal I get in the receiver. From a receiver I can steer a servo...
