I find the solution, you need to edit “distance sensors” and “range finders” on px4\_pluginlists.yaml

> Hey everyone, I want to receive distance data from Maxbotix sensors over a MAVROS topic named “/mavros/distance\_sensor/…”. Even if I can read distance data as DISTANCE\_SENSOR from MAVLink Inspector on QGroundControl, I couldn’t see its MAVROS topic on the terminal when I type the command “rostopic list”. How can I solve this issue? Thank you.
