RangeFinder for precision landing?

ArduCopter Copter 3.6

Hi

I just wonder if with just having a rangefinder facing down and setup the rngfnd_orient= 25, the drone will use this altitud for landing on RTL or any lading mode? Or may be i have to setup something else?

Thanks!

Yes it will use the RangeFinder for altitude in any mode that has altitude control (alt hold, loiter, land, RTL, etc). Yes there are configurations steps you must take. Please review the RangeFinder wiki pages to properly configure whichever one you have.
