Quick Start Guide

Ardupilot Setup Process

After connecting the radar to the flight controller's CAN port, set the following parameters in Mission Planner:

• CAN_P1_DRIVER = 1, Enable CAN 1 if the device is connected to the CAN 1 port

• CAN_P2_DRIVER = 2, Enable CAN 2 if the device is connected to the CAN 2 port

• RNGFND1_TYPE = 24, Select DroneCAN for Rangerfinder

• RNGFND1_MAX_CM = 2000, Set the maximum sensing range to 200 meters

• RNGFND1_MIN_CM = 20, Set the minimum sensing range to 0.2 meters

• RNGFND1_ADDR = 0, Set device address to auto

Power cycle your flight controller after setting the parameters above. After reboot, you should be able to see the range finder data from the DATA interface.

PX4 Setup Process

In QGroundControl, search for UAVCAN_ENABLE and set the parameter to Sensors Automatic Config.

Set UAVCAN_SUB_RNG to Enable and reboot.

After reboot, UAVCAN_RNG parameters will become available. Set UAVCAN_RNG_MAX to 200m and ~MIN to 0.1m.

To display the range date on the main QGC interface, first right-click on the telemetry data field.

Click '+' to add more elements, and '-' to reduce elements. Left-click on one of the elements to open element settings.

Set group to distance sensor and value to RotationPitch270 if the sensor is pointing down.
