Re: [Paparazzi-devel] IR sensors

[Florin Mingireanu]

Hi there,

 

One quick question: What are the limitations of FMA co-pilot? Is it using the 7-14 microns wavelength window?

 

Assume you have a high altitude glider.

Would an IR horizon sensing device (e.g.: FMA co-pilot) work in a cloud? What if the ground is covered by snow and it is cold (-20 degrees Celsius)... would it still work OK?

 

If one could summarize several limitations of FMA co-pilot I would be extremely grateful. Of course it would be the best if that person used FMA co-pilot and knows the limitations from practical operation and not from theory.

 

Best regards,

FY
