Hello everyone,

I have a very fundamental question.

I'm trying to implement obstacle avoidance using the MaxBotic sensors.

I have the option of using either a PixHawk or an ArduCopter. I have both.

Following this link:

http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-maxbotix-analog.html

I can connect the sensor to the flight controller, and finally the "sonarrange" value changes.

But, what after that? That does not change the control commands to the quadcopter, does it?

So, based on the value obtained from the sensor, how to I change/control the movement?

Can someone give me some directions?
