    hi all
    we have 5" quad based voxlflight and lidar as an height sensor .
    we trying to make simple takeoff to 0.5m height indoor in offboard mode.
    we have a Consistent problem, the quad takeoff to 0.5m and after few seconds keep ascending to 2.5m and goes down to 0.5m again .

    i added here flight log and parameters file .
    https://review.px4.io/plot_app?log=2e8f06a0-4185-4393-9eae-1b2a1ab40e85

    hope you have any ideas

    thanks in advance ,
    ben

      Hi Ben, we do not have experience integrating a distance sensor for altitude with PX4. Flight Core uses a nearly mainline version of PX4 and should behave as any PX4 system would with an altimeter. PX4 has that feature documented here, that might be a good place to start.

        Were you able to solve it. It seems that it always takeoffs to the default height 2.5, seems to be something in px4.
