Re: Unstable hovering

Hello Arnaud,

Thank you for the call you did with me last week. As frustrating as it was, it really was simply just the xbox controller having a tilt on the joystick. This was quite the learning experience. Thank you so much for the help.

Re: Unstable hovering

Hello Arnaud, Yes the changing Z setpoint is exactly the issue we are seeing. We have been seeing this issue ever since we started using tdoa with our drones. My team and I are inexperienced though, and we could not find what is causing the issue. We have another rosbag where the drones setpoints ar...

Re: Unstable hovering

Bumping, as we still have not found the issue, and it seems no one else is experiencing this.

Also, which topic is the drones xyz position being published to? Is there a way we could get a csv file with a table of the position over some period of time from a rosbag? Thank you.

Re: Unstable hovering

Apologies, I didn't know that you have to turn off the rosbag before you turn off RVIZ to get a proper rosbag. Here is another one that perfectly shows the issues we are experiencing.

Re: Unstable hovering

Ahh okay, are there any plans to implement setpoints into the ROS code? And here, I tried recreating the issue we had seen with the dropping pose/setpoint.Here is a rosbag of an attempt that was close to what we were experiencing. You can see the setpoint drops, and the drone drops with it. Here is ...

Cannot compile CF2 firmware with latest build

Hello Bitcraze, I finally got around to updating the firmware for our drones, but when I use make, it gives me the error *** No rule to make target 'sensors_task.o', needed by 'cf2.elf'. Stop I tried searching for which file it was referring to but I cannot find it anywhere. What can I do to complet...

Re: Unstable hovering

I apologize if my understanding is wrong, but from what I can tell, the only thing in the default LPS code that could cause the actual setpoint of the drone to change at all is the battery monitoring code. Like I said before, the actual setpoint of the drone is dropping during SOME flights, and the ...

Re: Strange LPS issue with ROS

Thank you for the tip! I hope to try it out for our next test. Out of curiosity, but do you and any other users have to do this change as well? I have not seen this documented anywhere. Is this problem unique?

Hello Bitcraze, My team and I have been flying up to 3 drones for a month now and have been testing this system to try to work out as many bugs as possible. However, there has been one issue we have been seeing that we cannot understand what is causing it. It has to do with the terminal when you lau...
