AP_RangeFinder - XL and LV should use same raw->distance translation calculation #125

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- attach an LV sonar, open the AP_RangeFinder_test.pde and ensure the LV sensor 
is uncommented
- check the distance measured, you will likely see it is reversed.
- change the pde so it uses the XL sonar (just in the code)
- the distances will now be correctly reported

I think at some point the algorithm for the LV sensor changed to be consistent 
with the XL sensor.
