Maxbotix I2C Range sensor parameters?

Hi,

I try to get data from a maxbotix i2c sensor. I ordered the type described in the manual here:
http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-maxbotixi2c.html#setup-through-the-mission-planner

I set the type to 4, other params to 0 or -1, but I'm not getting any data trough the MAVlink inspector.
I tried different combinations with added addresses and pin numbers, but to no avail. Has anyone done this? How can I debug this?

I'm using a navio2, raspberry pi, ArduPlane 3.7.1. The i2c airspeed sensor works fine.

I used an analog rangefinder before, which worked fine. The digital one doesn't even seem to ping. You can normally hear it if you listen closely.

Thanks,
Anton.
