Re: [Paparazzi-devel] ins alt_float using barometer.

[alonso acuña]

Hi. I have been using ins=gps_passthrough .  I am looking into whether alt_float would be a better option. I don't want to use the barometer because it appears to be too complicated. Would alt_float without baro work better than gps_passthrough?

Using the barometer will not change the display in the GCS, nor internally, since the the value is corrected by ground_alt (line 101).
But if you have the SRTM data (in GCS menu nav, select SRTM, if you don't have it yet it will ask for downloading it), the GCS strip will display both AGL and AMSL values (http://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/GCS#Strips).
So if your GPS is good enough, you should use it.

Yes, I think you might be right. I read about that change as well with

aspirin_v2.2. Unfortunately, we can't switch to v2.1 since we had a lot of
trouble in the past with using the older drivers with our IMU. How does
someone go about getting the master code? (I don't know if that's a stupid
question or not).

Anyways, the reason I wanted to use the barometer was to get a more accurate
reading for altitude and to view the plane's altitude in a more readable
fashion. What I mean by this is that when you use the barometer I believe
the sensor gives you the altitude above ground level. Right now we're using
the GPS to measure our altitude, which is actually decently accurate, but it
always gives you the altitude of the UAV from above sea level and the
altitude of your waypoints from above ground level in the GCS. This can get
confusing when it's one more thing to keep in mind during flight, but it's
something that we can live with. I would think there would be a way to
adjust that but I couldn't see how.

Thanks,
Matthew
