Pixhawk shows no readings from TF Mini once PRX_TYPE is set to 4

ArduCopter Copter 4.0

Hello,

I have Arducopter 4.0.4 RC3 firmware on a Pixhawk cube for testing obstacle avoidance with TFMini . I set all the parameters and the readings are fine as long as PRX_TYPE is 0. When the PRX_TPYE is set to 4 the Pixhawk show the proximity sensor values as zero. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Pavan

Good day, your rangefinder can work as altimeter or landing sensor.
If you are looking for something simple you can find topics about a poc with Arduino and tf mini as an obstacle avoidance.
If you want an advanced system… you can look for the teraranger tower with evo 60m sensors or evo 600

Hi, In my case, the sonarrange values go to zero when PRX_TYPE is activated. But when I open the Proximity window(CTRL F and Proximity) it shows the obstacles detected.
