Re: altitude sensors anyone?

For a sonar or light-based ranging system, I would recommend a Kalman filter strategy for error/noise rejection.

If you want to get fancier, add 6-axis inertial measurement unit along with the ranging system, and tie it all together with a Kalman algorithm strategy. This can work quite well.
