Hi

I 've just tried to fly my carzyflie during this sunny day, and i found some strange reaction during the use of hovering mode

My CF directly goes to the floor when i cross sunlight in that goes through the windows of the house

I searched for explanation and i found when i put the CF into the sunlight barometer value goes form around- 7 to +20 (or sometimes more, like 300 !)

Is someone found something to avoid that ?

Yes sunlight is problematic for the barometer. What you can do is to cover the barometer with some breathing material. We have used the foam in the Crazyflie box with good result, try that.
