Hey all,
From what I've read the APM for the Scout X4 has provisions for Sonar. I have a couple questions regarding adding this feature to my Scout using the stock FC X4 flight controller as well as a couple questions regarding the Ardu Sonar module itself.
1) I looked at the Ardu Sonar module sold at Radio Shack. It states on the package the range is up to 13 feet. Online, I'm reading up to 20' and some even claiming up to 30' for the same module. What's the truth on accurate range?
2) Can I remove the two sonar emitters from the board and move them farther apart with out diminishing accuracy or other ill effects?
I'd like to put the board inside and the emitters in each side of the Scout body.
3) If I want to add this to the Scout, how do I do it? Can I hook it straight to the FC? What parameter changes need be made? Any other changes I need to make to add the sonar module?
I'm a complete newb when it comes to Ardu so forgive my lack of knowledge.
4) Lastly, how does the Ardu Ultra Sonic Sonar stack up to others on the market? I realise this is an Ardu forum, but try to be as unbiased in response to this question.
tia,
