My rover has two front bumber sensors, and I would like to have it reverse a bit and have it try and find a path around the obstacle when those are triggered.
Should I use a lua script or do you think I can cheat ardupilot into thinking those are rangefinding sensors and just set a few parameters (assuming I don’t have to reverse for now?).
An easy solution is to set it as an analogue range finder connected to the ADC port so it now works as a fixed range rangefinder , I do this for testing rather than having to move the vehicle around. I just flick the switch and it thinks something is there. just set its max range to something like 3cm and it should work like any other rangefinder.
