barometer status
-
Hi @Moderator
I want to know the Flight Core v2 Onboard barometer sensors' implementation status. Is it working or not?
Because, as per the details on page "Flight Core v2 Onboard Sensors" Link- https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-v2-onboard-sensors/
There are 2 barometer sensors available.-
But BARO1 - BMP388 (U5, I2C4, 0x76) is disabled by default.- Can you provide details on why it was disabled? any reasons like not stable output, improper implementation, or
Can we enable BARO1 and use it without any issues? -
Now BARO2 - ICP-20100 (U17, I2C4, 0x63) seems set as default but as per Note added "Note: ICP-20100 not ported from VOXL2 yet.". It seems like not working at all.
Can you clarify the status of it?
Also, I saw posts claiming issues with the barometer on Voxl-mini
Like, data is not stable, variation is too high?
Can you share details for Flight Core 2 sensors, how reliable it is?Thank you.

Ravi@ravi The ICP barometer should be working. The issues on the VOXL2 mini are related to temperature since it is on the same board as the Qualcomm device that creates a lot of heat on it's own so not applicable to flight core. Why do you say that it is not working? Is the sensor_baro topic being published? What software version do you have loaded on the flight core?

No, I am not saying the sensors are not working.
In fact, I haven't tested yet.
I just stated everything mentioned in the flight-core-v2 user guide.
Link- https://docs.modalai.com/flight-core-v2-onboard-sensors/So, while testing, I can check it or configure it on PX4 and reprogram.
If everything is working, why user guide say?
So, as per you say, BARO1 is working but disabled?
And BARO2 is working perfectly. Even though there is a mention of software not ported?Please clarify for both.
Thank you. -

Thank you.@ravi The documentation has been updated. If you are running a recent release from us then you will be using the ICP-20100 barometer. The BMP388 will not be started.
