Lidar and Sonar on INTEL Aero

1

Dear All,

while the tutorial and the documentation shows how to wire
the sensors into the I2C bus and I found the parameters that
seem to enable it I am stuck.

What I am trying to accomplish is adding down looking
lidar and four side looking sonars to both pixhawk 2.1
and to INTEL aero.

I have students how can work on code - where would be start
to integrate the side view sonar info and where do we enable the
lidar for altitude control and how would that be merged with the GPS
altitude ?

Respectfully G

As a start you should look into how you can start multiple instances of the driver with the orientation configured. https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/blob/master/msg/distance_sensor.msg#L17

The downward facing distance will already be used, but then you’ll need to decide how you want to use the others.
