    I'm not able to activate flight mode on QCG. The error message is saying: Avoidance System not ready.
    The Not Ready error message shows GPS is disabled, Gyro 2 is disabled, and Accelerometer 2 is disabled.
    Do I need these enabled for flight mode?
    If so, how do I enable them?

      You might also want to look into combining depth sensing with a simple occupancy grid or voxel map instead of relying only on direct obstacle detection. It usually gives smoother avoidance behavior, especially in tighter spaces. I had better results once I started filtering noisy sensor data too.

        @Ward-Javoronok How is the parameter COM_OBS_AVOID set? If you set it to 0 that disables obstacle avoidance and should get rid of that error.
