Why are outputs (altitude and vertical velocity) still unstable (goes to negative infinity) after 2d Kalman filtering GY86 data?
I am using MS5611 in GY86 and ESP32 Dev kit to get the vertical velocity and altitude after running a 2d Kalman filter to it. (I modified the code from episode 19 of Carbon Aeronautics drone playlist)....
