Pixhawk Collision Prevention in PX4 SETUP with a Rangefinder, just a few params!

In this video I do a quick tutorial on how to setup collision prevention in PX4 stack using a single forward facing rangefinder. Make sure the distance sensor is enabled first (e.g. SENS_EN_XXXX or SENS_XXXX_CFG). If you are using a tfmini rangefinder, make sure you have SENS_TFMINI_CFG enabled to use the correct UART before testing.

After this setup, make sure you account for directions where you have no rangefinders. The drone will not avoid an obstacle unless you have side sensors as well, but it will prevent you from colliding with an object in front.

FYI this does not show how to use obstacle avoidance in PX4, which requires a companion computer and a depth + RGB camera. Collision prevention can be used independently of obstacle avoidance.
