barometer status

ravi

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 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?
