Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Change in altitude handling?

[Gautier Hattenberger]

It looks like the data coming from the navboard of the ardrone contain a 
few more information about the raw sonar measurements. Perhaps this can 
be use to know if the distance measurement itself is valid or not. In 
the meantime, it seems that removing too high and too low values is 
sufficient.

@Freek, did you ever looked at those values (debut_echo, fin_echo, 
nb_echo,...) ?
