Comment by Rana on November 10, 2009 at 4:22am: Thanks OliverD ! Chris Anderson's link is also well opening at the same site but what I wanted to say is much of the info like firmware etc. is not available at that site.

Comment by OlivierD. on November 10, 2009 at 4:36pm: Tom uses Kalman filtering with his own code but maybe DCM could be ported over to his AP. I like the built in pressure sensor for altitude, I think that is a big plus since GPS is not always precise with altitude.
