sonar delay in test and not accurate postition in flight

Posted by renaud barbier on July 28, 2013 at 9:34am

hi,

I did a sonar test in the CLI of mission planner and the readings are delayed by at least 2-3s. is that normal?

 

in flight I have issues with the sonar that seems not sensing properly the ground and will basically oscillate up and down with high amplitude (actually mainly going up alone...)

 

any clue what I did wrong? what is the field of view at short distance? could it be that by landing gear tube is seen by the sonar?

    @Renaud,

    On my rover, which uses two Maxbotix MB1240 sonars, the readings are virtually real time in the CLI sonar test. I am using an APM2.5 with the latest ArduRover2 code.
