    I wrote my own, a little different, but here is what most people start with: arduino maxbotix example

     

    One thing you want to be careful of here is that the example converts from raw to inches, and then converts inches to cm. So that is kind of silly.

     

    The code in ArduCopter uses Analog. PW is a blocking call, and all UARTs are in use. You will need to figure out which pin you want to use.

    Re-load ArduCopter

    Connect the sensor as seen here

    Go to CLI-> test
