Research direction

Start with the Data Quick Menu handling for the TFMini Plus sonar over I2C and reproduce the reported reading on the Copter and Pixhawk 1 setup. Compare the displayed range with the ruler measurement and determine the expected unit conversion; done means the quick menu reports the correct range and the behavior is verified against a relevant test or reproduction.
