EKF leverages RangeFinder when EK3_RNG_USE_HGT < 0

See this. MP works decently well for this; after all, it has all the information after being informed where the tracker is.

You need:

I have pending:

  • Improve pan support.
  • Perhaps try a brushless version.

MP possible improvements:

  • Not sure when servo angles start being output, needed for adjusting offsets before flying. Ideal if just after GPS lock.
  • Pending to test rover in circuit, with tracker above it (done in SILT). I use now a Python script for informing MP that tracker is 4m above rover.

Try it: real fun.
