I'm using the Tower app to do a grid search and I'd like to be capable of using a LIDAR to control the distance from the ground.
I've installed a Lightware SF11 on the 3DR Solo, and followed these instructions (LightWare SF10 Lidar — Copter documentation) on installation. I was able to successfully connect Mission Planner to the Solo and change the settings and confirm that the 3DR Solo has reasonable sonarrange values in mission planner.
However, in a simple test (flying between two waypoints over a dumpster at 12 feet initial height) the 3dr did not change height when using the tower app (i confirmed the Tower app showed the lidar settings on the drone were the same).
Does anyone have experience on getting the solo to use the LIDAR sonarrange value to control its height when using the Tower App or Mission Planner? Are there any logs that output the LIDAR or distance to ground data?
Thanks!
