"First try this, there is another small button in the gimbal bay. Turn off the drone, hold down the button in the gimbal bay while you turn the drone back on... after a series of about 3 tone groups. let go and see if the drone will boot up and…"
"Solved the problem, I apparently was supposed to hook my tx line to my rx port and visa-versa... woops. everything works now. :)"
I am attempting to get a Lightware sf10/a rangefinder working on my 3dr solo. For the basic setup i have been following this guide http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-lightware-sf10-lidar.htmlWhen I hook everything up to a standard pixhawk and…
