--
-- configure a forward or downward facing lidar with a range of at least 5m
-- setup RCx_OPTION = 90 (EKF Pos Source) to select the source (low=GPS, middle=opticalflow, high=Not Used)
-- setup RCx_OPTION = 300 (Scripting1).  When this switch is pulled high, the source will be automatically selected
-- SRC_ENABLE = 1 (enable scripting)
-- setup EK3_SRCn_ parameters so that GPS is the primary source, opticalflow is secondary.
