AC 3.2 + EKF & Flying indoors

Posted by Raph on January 28, 2015 at 5:47pm

Hi Everyone!

I've been tasked with shooting some video indoors. Through the 3.2 beta thread I remember there being a few mentions that GPS data is used when EKF is enabled even when not in GPS modes.

I would really appreciate some input, clarification & best practices when flying indoors (other than not having failsafe set to RTL ;p). Mainly:

1. Is it safe to fly with EFK enabled indoors (stab, alt hold)?

2. Are there any special parameters I should be modifying?

3. Any specific considerations? Safety is the priority.

I'm flying a quad with a Pixhawk running AC 3.2 release.

Thanks in advanced!

looks like they put up a wiki page for indoor flying:

I'm also interested in this.

I fly a lot indoor, so it will be useful to have some info.

would turning off EKF be enough? or disable AHRS_GPS_USE ?

really stumped here, can't find a clear answer anywhere
