HI I am looking for a lighthouse paramteter that I can use to determine if both lighthouses cannot see the cf. (in order to immediately land the cf after a certain number of secods of lost tracking) I acknowledge that this may be a little more complicated that just choosing one parameter (perhaps du...

A PyQt question for the Client

Hi all! I am writing a new tab for the lighthouse system, very much like the current qualisys tab.

Re: One drone following another drone.

I think the three options are similar in performance but the last one is easier to implement and debug. To be clear, you think the positionalHLcommander is easier to implement and debug or sending setpoints to the PID? If it is the latter then yes I would love to see the scripts for inspirartion. C...

Re: One drone following another drone.

HI Kimberly, I also just got back on the 4th. I managed to get my hack working. The drone is only stable if it is following the stateestimate of one axis at a time. eg: pc.go_to(0, 0, set_point_z) Any way to make this more stable in all thee axes? Also. Yes I would love some more tips from Kristoffe...
