Sonar Alt Hold

Hi all,Just tried Alt Hold with the Sonar (MB1240) today, but when I put Alt Hold copter starts rising and I have no idea why its doing it. I have covered the Baro sensor, shielded the cable and located it away from the center of the copter's center.It flies in Stabilized mode and POS Hold extremely well, and CLI Sonar test is fine. I tried setting up THR_TRIM to 500 on the Adv parameters as well.Need some help please.Thanks See More

"Actually the sonar is not needed for altitude hold. The new code using zAccel to hold attitude. Donate is used more for terrain flowing. Bounce over bushes or climb a stair and maintain altitude."

"for a while i was getting a false reading from my sonar, and was to afraid to test alt hold but i just ended up make sure it was on a switch i could access quickly and then stuck my hexa up to about 10m and hit the switch, bom, it worked! bit…"

Soanr MB 1240

I just got my MB1240 Sonar and installed it on my hexacopter. I tested it on CLI sonar testing and it works fine. But when I connect it to MP Flight Data page does not show the sonar readings, I guess it uses Barometer readings.I have checked Configuration page and I have selected XL-EZ0 and have enabled it.I am afraid to test Alt Hold mode as I am not getting my Sonar height on the Flight Data screen.Need some help please.
