Can you have a lidar for height control and proximity

Hi every one,is it possible to set a lidar and for height control and set an other one up to act as a proximity one when I try the height sonar/lidar stops working,many thank’s

@MartyMcFly yes you can , it is on the orientation parameter. But remember when you set the rangefinder to look forward (or any other direction except down == that is altitude) you need to look at the “radar screen” that youyou need to invoke with ctrl-f
