Using V3 only outputs 0

I'm using the V3 version of the Lite sensor. When I use the current example software from Garmin, the sensor reports correct values, however when using this code, I only receive a 0 back.

Reading Average Distance

Right now, this code displays an average distance from raw distance data including zero, Can someone help to attribute a new code for reading average distance from raw distance data excluding zero?

llFindSensor() missing while loop?

In the llFindSensor() code:

The i++ (near the end of the function) increments the i value to try a different address since the register 0x02 does not equal 0x80. But, after i is incremented the function exits. There is no while loop to try the next address. Is this a mistake or am I misunderstanding something? Best regards.

void llFindSensor(){
uint8_t nackack = 100; // Setup variable to hold ACK/NACK resopnses
String myString; // Setup string variable to print outcome
bool sensorFound = false; // Setup flag to indicate whether a sensor has been found or not
int i = 0; // Setup a counter
while (nackack != 0){ // While NACK keep going (i.e. continue polling until sucess message (ACK) is received )
LIDARLite_ADDRESS = byte(LIDARLite_ADDRESSES[i]); // Set address from addresses array
nackack = I2c.write(LIDARLite_ADDRESS ,0x41,0x00); // Write 0x00 to read only register 0x41 (will produce an ACK if there is a deice at the device address but won't write anything)
if(nackack != 0){
i++; // If no ACK from write, increment to next address
}else{
break; // If ACK recieved stop while loop
}
delay(2); // Wait 2 ms to prevent overpolling
}
byte testValue[1]; // Create array to store bytes from read
llReadAndWait(0x02,1,testValue); // Read from register 0x02
if(testValue[0] == 0x80){ // If device at address is LIDAR-Lite, register 0x02 should always equal 0x80
myString += "Device @ 0x";
myString += String(byte(LIDARLite_ADDRESS),HEX);
myString += " is LIDAR-Lite.";
smPrintFunctionInit(myString);
}else{ // If register 0x02 does not equal 0x80, increment to next address and try again
i++;
}
}

What about a sensor

Sorry for posting here, but how can i get the sensor? 3DRobotics has none. PulsedLight3D says to buy from them. Could you help?
