- | We used one anchor and one Crazyflie with a Loco Position Deck mounted. The system was set up in the Two way ranging mode, that is each ranging is actually 4 packets sent back and forth and The ranging operation is initiated by the Crazyflie deck. | + | We used one anchor and one Crazyflie with a Loco Position Deck mounted.

Indoors there are walls, the floor and other objects that bounces and echoes the radio waves sent out by the system. Outside there are usually fewer obstacles and typically only the ground that effects the transmitted energy. Obviously this makes a difference and we wanted to see if we could measure it. | Indoors there are walls, the floor and other objects that bounces and echoes the radio waves sent out by the system.
