[Paparazzi-devel] Possible to skip gyro alignment when paparazzi starts up?

[kitso]

Dear all,

Question: Is it possible to skip the gyro alignment when paparazzi 
starts up?

When we will give our system to the ranger (in South Africa to stop 
rhino poachers) and leave him to use it (without our supervision), one 
the bigger risks is that he forgets to keep the aircraft steady when 
paparazzi starts up. He might also forget to verify if he did the 
startup correctly. Possible result: a crash directly after launch, 
unhappy ranger, unhappy customer and no solution for the endangered 
animals.

So, is it possible to skip this step (gyro alignement) in the startup of 
paparazzi? What are the risks involved?
As I understand you can specify GYRO_SENS and GYRO_NEUTRAL as the 
calibration, but I also read that the AHRS aligner will reset them (the 
neutral, or bias) at startup.

Cheers,
Kitso
