Every stabilized mode have a Thrust column where you can select two altitude modes:

  • Altitude Hold: When engaged, vehicle maintain current altitude.
  • Altitude Vario: When engaged vehicle maintain altitude and his value can be adjusted using the Throttle stick.

Pressure sensor

For best results you should cover the baro sensor with foam and reduce disturbing from air wind.

The foam must be an open cell foam that allow air pass through.

Another thing important to consider, those sensors are really sensitive to light and lighting changes can give big jumps in altitude.

Hardware issues

Some clones have problems with regulator ripple that disturb pressure sensor, one bypass capacitor C9 does not match the regulator used as replacement by the cloners.

...

Altitude can be monitored using the Scope tab, the second scope display big jumps in altitude

Good regulator 


Bad regulator filtering, big jumps.
