In this example, Leddartech lidar is connected directly to the target.
Here's what the configuration file looks like:
begin SENSOR_UNIT_1
type = lidar
name = vu8
direction = 0,0,180
position = 2300,0,800
data_format = SENSOR_FORMAT_LIDAR_POLAR
address = /dev/serusb1,1,leddartech_vu8
lidar_fov = 48
end SENSOR_UNIT_1
