"As far as I can tell it's the same as V2. They made sure to change the label just right with that year of development. 
I don't see the 13 meter offset problem anymore but you still have to manually solder a capacitor to the I2C lines to use it.…"

"Hi Gary
You're almost definitely right that it's a Lightware ranger. I'm aware that Pulsed Light is gone but I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Lidar Lite V3 from Garmin. I was trying to figure out if Kespry got ahold of the new sensor early to…"
