Title: AltitudeVario - Perfect!
Post by: mak24 on April 05, 2018, 03:21:28 am

Flew my quad indoor in AltitudeVario.  Worked perfectly!

AltitudeHold kept getting the quad either fly up slowly or down and bouncing on the ground.  Thoughts?

That is the main reason that thermal calibration was added.  :)

So do the thermal calibration, then redo gyro calibration.  Also make sure that light can't get to the baro sensor chip.  Strong light, such as sun light can affect the reading by up to several meters.

I should have done a better job at Thermal calibration :-)

Really need to get a test quad, don't want to touch this one which has been flying so nicely.

Once again, thanks so much!!
