How to test the sonar with APM planner?

Posted by benperu24 on April 10, 2012 at 6:01am

Hello :)

As the title suggests, I would like to know how I can test the sonar (MB 1200) with the APM software planner, (I have version 1.1.63.)

If it is not possible, how can I do? please

I hope this matter will be used to people asking the same question !

Thank you very much

King regards

Ben

You need to go into CLI and type "test" and then "sonar". It will then output the sonar readings in centimetres.

with the guide: ( http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_sensorGUI )

I get the following test (see picture).

My sonar is positioned like this example: ( http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Sonar )

I put my finger in front with the sonar return.

I did a test for altitude, is it normal to get that?

Thank you
