Nice project! I did almost the same (Garmin v3 Lidar + steppers), but based on an ESP32 instead of raspi + arduino. The problem I have is the scanning speed vs resolution. The sensor is quite slow, so it takes a really long time to scan anything (hundred of hertz seems fast, but when you do the math you realize it's not fast at all).
