Rangefinder for object avoidance

General Website and Documentation errors

Hi, just a suggestion. The link

http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-objectavoidance.html#common-rangefinder-objectavoidance

says:

Connecting and Configuring the Lidar

follow the normal instructions for setting up rangefinders.
set the RNGFNDx_ORIENT parameters (i.e. RNGFND_ORIENT, RNGFND2_ORIENT) to specify the direction the range finder is pointing in (i.e. 0=Forward, 2=Right, 4=Back, 6=Left, 24=Up, 25=Down)
set PRX_TYPE = “4” to enable using range finders as “proximity sensors”.
set AVOID_ENABLE to “7” to enable avoidance using proximity sensors (and fences)

Rngfnd_orient only works for downwards with leddarone.

Prx_type works perfect with 0(none) with leddarone. Option 4 will say lidar unhealthy or check proximity sensor

Avoid_enable to 7 is not possible in ac 3.5.3. Only 3 (all) is possible.

Thanks in advance
