Object Avoidance TFmini LIDAR

ArduCopter Copter 3.5

Hello all

have if you can help

I am using TFmini LIDAR, it works very well as SONAR

but when I use it as Object Avoidance, I get to take off but I can not go forward.
can it be by the degrees of inclination of the drone when it goes forward?

I apologize for English so bad

regards

Hello

Use Mission Planner and type CTRL-F and activate the RADAR as per instruction here:
http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/code-overview-object-avoidance.html#reporting-to-the-ground-station
Check if reading is OK

The TFMINI outputs ZERO if over 12 Meter indoor and over 6 Meter outdoor.
You can change this behavior and report a fixed 12 Meter if beyond range send this command:
42 57 02 00 00 00 00 20 using the BENEWAKE Console

hello again, friend @ppoirier:

I have tested outdoors and it works correctly
avoid the object.

What I do not like is that it loses quality on the flight.
Again set as SONAR, I like.
Happy to share this passion.

Thanks again
