Rangefinders and Drones | Everything You Need To Know (2020)
Rangefinders are a very important component for drone applications. Most drones estimate altitude with a barometer, that correlates changes in pressure to changes in altitude. However, this method of altitude estimation is prone to becoming less accurate over time via a phenomena called "barometer drift".
Rangefinders can be used to more precisely obtain the distance from the ground to the drone, translating into smoother flight in particular flight modes.
On top of that, some drone functions require rangefinders to even work- things like precision landing and optical flow.

Good content ❤
Thanks bro.. Glad to see your still geeking the Pi Drone.. We put it on pause with this Covid Phobia stuff.. Here's the new Discord to the group and Drone project
We will start the Pi Drone back up and add a range finder to project.. Should help with the landings.. Thinking of a charging / docking station at various locations and maybe run via mobile network (GSM)

That's awesome, @Wilson Bradley! Definitely sounds like a fun project. I dabbled with charging stations a few years ago, but hadn't mastered precision landing. Definitely check that out for that projetct!
Would be great for a terrain-following fixed-wing…
what rangefinder works better with icy conditions?
Will here2 work for precision landing????
where is the next video?
