I was wondering if I can get clarification on what “altitude” is being used to check against CHUTE_ALT_MIN to see if it is safe to fire a parachute when you have a rangefinder enabled.
Theoretically, if I take off at the top of a canyon and fly into the canyon (so that my current altitude is below the home altitude), will the parachute be disabled if CHUTE_ALT_MIN is nonzero? If so, does CHUTE_ALT_MIN work with negative numbers?
For instance, if I know I am flying in a canyon with a max depth of 100 meters, and I know my chute needs 10 meters to arrest the fall, could I set CHUTE_ALT_MIN to -90 so that it can fire as soon as I take off, but it won’t fire if I am within 10 meters of the canyon floor?
