Sensors + Multicopter

Hardware Multirotors

Hello everyone

I would like to add to my multicopter frame a bunch of ultrasonic sensors (maybe 4) in order to adapt the navigation of my multicopter.

Is this possible with an APM or maybe with a PIXHAWK?

Thanks in advance

@dragoon10,
Presently the APM and the Pixhawk will support two sonars http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-optional-hardware/common-rangefinder-landingpage/common-rangefinder-maxbotix-analog/

Thanks TCIII

Do you think that i can connect all my sensors to an Arduino board, run my algorithm and transmit my commands to the APM or Pixhawk?

@dragoon10,
Yes that can be done as long as the output to the APM/Pixhawk is in a form that can be processed by either navigation controller.
