Altitude Hold using Laser Range Finder-How to ignore tables and platforms of certain height

ArduCopter Copter 3.6
1

Hello Everyone

I’m flying my drone with the pixhawk in Altitude Hold mode, using laser range finders pointed down. Barometer is turned off.

When it flies over a table of sorts, a bush or a platforms, the drone climbs to maintain the same altitude as before. Is there a way to disable the “readjustment” of height if the height change is above a certain threshold?

Thanks a lot!

Maybe you can try with RNGFND_GAIN parameter.

Used to adjust the speed with which the target altitude is changed when objects are sensed below the copter.

Maybe you can soften it a bit so that altitude change is slower, can’t remember if the default is at slowest already but worth a check.
