Hi,
pls review this thread:
did you switch tfmini specifically to pix mode and did you send in a specifically a “42 57 02 00 00 00 00 20” command? it is important. if done correctly, tfmini lidar will never report more than 12m distance.
Randy, it is worth to be adding to a wiki page about TFMini. this step is crucial - and if done correctly, nothing else is needed. i already stated that i have tfmini on 4 different models - on last 2 this command posted above and a checkbox on the ‘pix mode’ was the only setup i did, and it worked perfectly with arducopter after that.
