I'd like to use a rangefinder to maintain a constant distance to the ground during flight of the 3dr Solo. I'd like to stay about 1.5 to 2 meters from the ground, and search in a grid pattern over a 10 or 100 m^2 area.
I'd like to use this laser altimeter, and modify the this script so that a 3dr flies in a simple grid patter, maintaining a 2m distance to the ground using the altimeter.
Where should I start on implementing this? I see dronekit documentation for accessing a rangefinder, but I'd like to modify the simple_goto or goto_position_target_local_ned() but having the drone maintain a constant distance from the ground.
Is this possible in arducopter and dronekit-python? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
