Hello,

I can not run a Lidar SF20 with APM Quad v3.5.3 firmware.
Mission Planner displays "Bad Lidar Health", and "sonarrange" remains at zero.
I installed it in I2C then in serial setting as explained in the wiki (with the right electrical beams), I even tried with an older firmware v3.4.6, but nothing works.

My configuration:
Quadcopter
Dropix from Drotek (Pixhawk 1)
Lidar SF20
IR Lock

I tested the lidar alone with Lightware manufacturer software and it works.

.

Questions:

Should I set up the lidar with the Lightware software before installing it in the drone?

Do you have any idea where the problem might come from?

.

My next goal is to use it with an IR Lock for the Precison Landing and use the Terrain following.

I have attached a log file with APM Copter Quad v3.5.3
