Follow a moving apriltag
-
Can VOXL (specifically the m500 drone) follow a moving apriltag? I've seen the documentaion for precision landing and all the questions regarding that in this forum but I haven't seen anything regarding a moving apriltag even though the config file shows a field named "follow_tag_id".

Yes, This is a supported feature, though this is not intended to be an "out of the box" feature because it can be unwieldy and dangerous (this is often called "sword mode"). If you're looking to do this, we'd recommend writing some of your own code (with some safety checks) based off the off-board mode follow tag found in voxl-vision-px4.
