Waypoints mission with sonar

Posted by Udi Rot on June 3, 2014 at 6:46am

Hi, 

I connected a sonar to my 3DR quadcopter (with pixhawk on it). I want the quad to keep constant altitude above the ground (about 1.5 meters) during waypoints navigation. Altough the sonar works fine on loiter, it doesnt seem to have an effect when auto-navigating. quick look at the arducopter code made me think that auto mode really doesn't use sonar. does that make any sense? Is there a way to change it?

Thank you,

Udi

    Im sorry, but i couldn't find a solution for that problem. I think it is not possible, but I haven't checked it for a long time, and maybe some things have changed.
