Sonar control with Channel 8

Posted by Steve S on January 19, 2014 at 6:21am

I am trying to use Channel 8 to turn my sonar on and off when connected to the mission planner i can see that the switch does work. But the Sonar does not turn on and off when switched when testing it it works even when switched off.

I thought that the function would work or am i missing something?

    Steve,

          I think the switch enables/disables the sonar but it won't switch it completely off.  So it will still make little ping-ping-ping noises.  When disabled it won't be used for altitude hold though.
