LIDAR API Commands

Commands available from the LIDAR via direct serial connection or through the Main PCB API

To access the API directly via the serial connection of the sensor, send an ESCAPE character (0x1B).
The lidar then responds with an invite : "#"

You can then enter commands (below is the result of Help command, some additional hidden commands are probably available):

Commands are case-insensitive, and can be entered incompletly : getversion, getvers, getv, GeTvErSiOn will all work alike.

Be aware that one at least of these commands can brick your LDS...
