Setting up for front landing gear (Ground Steering) for fixed wing plane.
At this time, i have issue on setting up the nose landing gear so that it can automatically follow compass direction upon take off. Currently, i have connected the nose landing gear cable to the main out pin (4) as yaw / rudder. But when flight mode change to other than manual, the landing gear is not holding its current direction.
Therefore after a few readout from the web and from this youtube video from youtube, credit to the owner, i got some ideas that the nose landing gear servo should be connected to aux pin similar as gimbal pan, tilit, and video switcher connection,
I will do this on this tuesday and i hope it goes well. InsyaALLAH...amin.

1) set servo12_function = 26 : set the Aux4/RC/Servo12 to Ground Steering (26).
2) set RCPassthru4(26) : set the rudder stick to control ground steering.

Lidar, Sonar setup
1. After 4 hours, this is setup demo that works.
SERIAL2_PROTOCOL = 9 (lidar) (if using telemetry 2 port for Lidar)
SERIAL2_BAUD = 115 (115 200)
RNGFND_TYPE = 20 (Benewake TFMini)
RNGFND_SCALING = 1 (meter)
RNGFND_MIN_CM = 1 (centimeters) - minimum value for lidar to works
RNGFND_MAX_CM = 1000 (centimeters) - Beyond this value, pixhawk will use Barometer.
RNGFND_GNDCLEAR = 15 (centimeters) - Because the lidar is installed above 15 centimeters on the drone.
