Bug report / Q&A

1- [Bug] Multi EKF vehicle local positions starting with large offset on quad indoors · Issue #24206 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

2- @Teddy_Zaremba Running into an issue in 1.16 alpha where EKF2 isn’t fusing vision data. Does anyone know if something changed between 1.15.3 and 1.16 alpha with how external vision gets fused? http://flight-review.modalai.com/plot_app?log=039356e2-3ed3-4356-b315-5b43f6aec4e0

The log before and after is better to be provided.

3- @AWilkins_Ascend Hold mode without GPS fusion: How different 1.15 and 1.16 are interacting with the Hold mode without a global position.

The tests are going to be done by the flight test team first in SITL and hardware to figure out how the navigator is handling the situation.

4 - [Bug] Failed to get DroneCAN (UAVCAN) parameters list · Issue #24268 · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

Could we have a discussion on our issue we talked about 3 weeks ago, regarding the indoor flights without gps?
