quad altitude hold and camera stabilisation

Hi - i have a quad and am running ardupiratesNG

Is it possible to achieve altitude hold (as well as GPS hold) using mtek GPS only? When i switch both on there is no altitude hold - just position hold, and i need to manually maintain altitude with my Tx throttle. Do i need to change a line of code to make this work?

Do i need a barometer to make this work? ... if so is there a link on how to do this and which barometer to use? It is my belief that GPS is enough for both.

Also i am using stock ardupirates camera stabilisation for tilt only, however it responds to tilt a bit too quickly resulting in sharp movements and useless video (gopro)

Can i dumb down the movement using PID values? If so, which one should i adjust? Or am i better to just bolt the camera down permanently?

Thanks, Rich

  • I've got the camera working in ACM2...there's a Camera.PDE file that has all of the logic in it.

     

    I think the reaction is just a multiplication function.  You should be able to just multiply by a smaller number.
