Hi,
I noticed that the altitude shown on the ST16S is steadily rising when the drone is just sitting here on the ground doing nothing.
I thought that it's because of the rising temperature inside the enclosure (rising temperature=lower pressure), but there are two problems with this hypothesis. 1) the pressure should be equalized with the outside pressure because the drone's body has vents and 2) I thought that barometric altimeters factor in the temperature when they are calculating the altitude.
Can someone shed some light on this topic?
