u4eake replied to Pierre Seguin's discussion Altitude wrong on one of my APM"Then I guess if it is fluctuating that much, you should contact 3DR support and see if they agree it's a faulty baro and will repair or replace it (don't know if they will though)
With the old baro on the APM1 it was normal that it…"

Pierre Seguin posted a discussionAltitude wrong on one of my APM
I have problem with one of my APM2.5. One of my APM when on the ground shows between minus 0.60 meter to minus 1.00 fluctuating. If Ilift the quad to 1.6 meter the altitude shown on the mission planner become positive and indicate 1.00 meter. When I put the quad back on the ground the reading become minus 1.00 descending very slowly to minus 0.60 or minus 1.00. I think that the barometer is not right. Could one of developers advise me? Note that even with GPS lock and 3D fix the altitude is…See More
