Bit of an old topic, but I’m noticing that the values baro:get_altitude()
returns are different than the altitude that appears in the “quick” menu, off by ~0.25m or so.
I read through the Understanding Altitude page-- Is this difference due to the Quick menu is incorporating GPS altitude and barometric into the EKF approximation, whereas the baro:get_altitude()
method is only pressure based?
… or it may just be because the quick menu is displaying relative altitude versus the barometric inherently being ASL? I’m not entirely sure.
