Migration Guide
- The EKF2 estimator has been the standard for some time and supports flying with vision positioning systems indoors. Users of the LP estimator are advised to upgrade, as LPE is no longer supported/maintained.
- Upgrading is advised to latest stable trough QGC.
Main features and improvements
- Fusion of Visual Inertial Odometry in EKF2 (video)
- Interface for external Obstacle Avoidance systems (video)
- Significantly improved performance on racing drones (users need to reconfigure, link)
- Improved filtering and reduced control latency
- Added Airmode
- Improved flight performance on VTOL (Tiltrotors, Tailsitters)
- Support for building natively on Windows (link)
- Significant EKF2 improvements
- Hardening of the estimator for situations where GPS accuracy is limited
improved sensor selection logic enabling simultaneous use of optical flow and GPS - Added the EKF2_MAG_TYPE parameter for environments with high magnetic interferences
- Hardening of the estimator for situations where GPS accuracy is limited
