Hi all,
we are doing atmospheric research with UAV at my university. I implemented a Pixhawk 2 in our UAV a short while ago and I noticed that Arduplane somehow calculates a wind direction.
It would be very interesting for us to compare these values with those produced by our own sensor payload. Can anybody point me to a documentation explaining the way the EKF calculates this? I searched the Arduplane documentation as well as the source code but found nothing...
I read through http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/extended-kalman-filter.html#extended-kalman-filter but this doesn't really explain how the EKF works.My problems in finding an answer may have to do with me being a natural scientist with only rudimentary knowledge in programming languages, so if anybody is able to help me I would be truly grateful.
