How to turn on SONAR with iNav 1.7.1?

[liutairan]

Just like another post, I cannot find SONAR configuration. I also tried to use CLI feature SONAR, but it shows that invalid command. Is it removed again?

[liutairan]

I saw that sonar was back in 1.7, but cannot find it in the configurator.

[stronnag]

have you specified the sonar hardware ?

set rangefinder_hardware = 
Allowed values: NONE, HCSR04, SRF10

[johnsilvester]

@liutairan Yeah! use @stronnag command in the CLI to activate it!

[stronnag]

Not sure if SURFACE mode is working though. A brave test volunteer?

[johnsilvester]

I'll test it out in the next day or two

[liutairan]

@stronnag @johnsilvester Thanks~ Just found it. I will test it when the weather get better.

I connected an HC SR04 to my spracingF3, entered the CLI command, SONAR tab turns red and nothing else.... any ideas?

@nerezw we are not wizards or prohets, you have to be much more specific. How you connected and what you entered. CLI diff maybe?

[nerezw]

I have an spracingF3. I connected sonar trigger to IO2/5(yellow) and sonar echo to IO2/6(green) and 5volts Vcc on HC-SR04. I entered : # set rangefinder_hardware and got rangefinder_hardware = NONE Allowed values: NONE, HCSR04, SRF10 and then

set rangefinder_hardware = HCSR04

rangefinder_hardware set to HCSR04

and the save

the SONAR tab on the top of the screen turns RED the SANAR tab in the sensors screen can not be selected

can any body help

diff please. HC-SR04 works with INAV 1.7.1 since I tested it few days ago. So looks like you are doing something wrong after all

[nerezw]

Ok... Will have a close look

Try soldering to the 'Trig' and 'Echo' pins on the bottom side of an spf3

[nerezw]

Will do... Thanks

@nerezw Have you solved your problem? Did you use usb port to connect to the computer? If so, maybe you can try providing extra power to the board. At least for me, the board cannot provide enough power for the sonar if using USB connecting to computer. Once I have the battery connected or other power source connected, the sonar will work well; once I remove the battery, the sonar indicator will get red again.

[nerezw]

I haven't solved it yet. I was going to try 1k resistors on tabs under the board as suggested by someone

On cleanflight sonar works ok with 1k resistor on sda and sdl. I tried with inav cli enabled, doesnt work its red.
