How can i get yaw angle with respect to north?

Open lwcworld opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Can anybody help me to receive the global yaw angle with respect to north ? i can get lat, lon, alt data using ros. But to control the drone outdoor, i need heading anlge. i can get the yaw angle from odometry, but it is not enough to guide it to the specific geodetic position. There are compass and magnetometer sensor in bebop2 drone, but i don't know how to access them.

See the documentation for attitude:

Ardrone3PilotingStateAttitudeChanged

Yaw should be heading in global frame. Please check and comment with result.
