Hi Guys I've got the maxsonar XL 1260 and i find the hight when on the ground is at 20cm but if i lift the quad to about 1mtr it says its at between 50 to 70 cm.
Is there anything i can do to calibrate this sonar to the right hight?
Thanks in advance
Paul.

I just checked in a fix to trunk last weekend that allows you to set the SONAR_TYPE parameter to 0 for the XL (aka 1200, the default), 1 for the cheaper LV and 2 for the long range XL (aka 1260).
We're aiming to push out a new release on friday-ish so it will be readily available to all then.
