While I was shopping I also added a Mabotix Sonar module.
There is a module for that. But it does not look like it's going to be
much usable.
It looks like the code is not taking into account that the range
information is only usable at low altitudes (around seven meters).
And it only shows up in the booz domain.
I know that sonar is probably not very much used on fixed wings. But I
imagine it could help landings to flare up a little before touchdown.
I suppose sensor data does not really need to be integrated into the
actual altitude information but can just be used in flight plan programming.
Has anyone done that before? I seem to remember that being used in a AOA
based landing pattern, which I would like to experiment with as well as
soon as I have all the parts.
Of course, I still need to get a successful flight first. Weather has
been very windy for weeks, it's getting quite frustrating.
But I kind of like to keep many mental balls in the air. *g*
Cheers
