Update: At the moment I'm going to order some new pcbs with the right connection of the I2C including some other improvements like a tare button.
Since the support of more ranging devices is being worked out at the moment the final design is not frozen at the moment.
At the moment I'm experimenting with some widely available $20 lasers to get the information from the display bus, but it seems there are a lot of identically looking ranging device available which have slightly different electronics inside, so you never know what you get.
This makes it difficult to get a suitable laser.
So I tend to leave the support for the actually supported device and I'm in touch with a manufacturer, that I maybe can offer the whole bundle of PCB, ranging device and software in future.
I will keep you updated at this topic.
