I have a sonar set up on my quad copter but I cannot enable it in mission planner. I am using APM 2.6 with a LV-MaxSonar-EZ MB1010 sonar sensor. Mission planner registers the reading and they are accurate but I cannot enable the sensor. I have checked multiple forums with the same problem but I still haven’t found a solution. Please help.

You have to go into the parameter list and manually change the values. The check box doesn’t work. Can’t remember the values but do a web search for this and it will turn up. If I can find it I will post
CHeck your pin number…not sure if 5 is correct. Sonar uses first pin (0 I think not sure)
Hello , I have the same problem, my quad use APM 2.6 , Mission Planer1.3.19 and Arducopter V3.2.1 . The model of my sonar is LV- MaxSonar - EZ4 MB1040 , just like you autonomousUAV I can not enable it in mission planner , but ¨sonarrange¨ and ¨sonarvoltage¨ values are different from 0 as samples in your first image (but in my case it is inaccurate , the values are very low)
