    @yuvraj,

    It's not possible quiet yet, but it's coming soon at least for arducopter running on Pixhawk.  There's a PX4Firmware driver for it which uses the I2C interface here.  The driver is actually for the "IR-Lock" CAM which is a derivative of the Pixy Cam but it should work for the original Pixy as well.

    Anyway, if that's all too complicated just wait for AC3.3 or maybe AC3.4 which will include precision landing using the IR-Lock.

      Hi Randy...

      We cant make a motion sensing so that inside the building also we can make a perfect lock without using GPS like DJI INSPIRE 1.

      If you have any other alternative like how to lock inside the building or indoor without using GPS.

      Thanks.
