Pixhawk Mini with MaxBotix I2C Sonar

Hardware Pixhawk family
1

Hello,

I am trying to get my MaxBotix Sonar sensors to work with the new Pixhawk mini. I have followed all instructions listed at:
http://ardupilot.org/rover/docs/common-rangefinder-maxbotixi2c.html

However, I am unable to see any readings from the sonar sensors via Mission Planner. I have tested using multiple versions of the Rover firmware.

Help from anyone who has gotten this working (even using different firmware) or any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Glen

Which Sonar model exactly? I am working on the MB1202 right now.

Thanks, Grant.

Just noticed the other discussion with Colin. Lets put our updates just in that discussion rather then having 2.

Thanks, Grant.

I am okay with using the Colin’s discussion to group things together, but I didn’t see you post there yet so I’ll leave one more here along with a link to his for people looking to solve this issue in the future:

Colin’s thread:

Personally I am using the MB1242. Have you gotten the sonar (any model) working with the pixhawk mini?

Thanks,
-Glen
