title: How do interface a LIDAR device with MATLAB?
body: <p>I have a Hokuyo USB LADAR/LIDAR. I have problem with interfacing or connecting it to MATLAB/Simulink, such that I can do all the processing in those software packages.</p>
  
  <p>I have already asked Hokuyo. They only provide C++ program interface (<a href="http://www.hokuyo-aut.jp/02sensor/07scanner/download/urg_programs_en/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">sample programming guide and libraries</a>). How do I interface this to MATLAB/Simulink?</p>
