Project mention: Kalman Filter Tutorial: Kalman Filter from the Ground Up | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-14They are widely used in narrow circles :)
Two of (arguably the best) open source RC aircraft flight controllers (ArduPilot and PX4) are using extended Kalman filters in their state estimators (essentially sensor fusion that provides attitude/position estimate):

https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/blob/main/src/modules/e...
I'm not that familiar with cleanflight/betaflight/inav scene to know what the FPV racer flight controllers use.
Project mention: DJI Virtual Flight (iOS) has been broken for five months | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-09For Disco you're in luck, there are some really decent ardupilot-based projects out there[1]. Plus, unlike the Bebop camera which is inaccessible via the shell (you can only use the Parrot SDK), the Disco camera can be commanded to stream/record with a few simple commands, and even bound to controller inputs.
A caveat with the controller: it needs to have custom firmware[2] to get it communicating with ardupilot, and to get the firmware onto the controller you need telnet/adb into it via SkyController→usb→ethernet→usb→Laptop adaptor(s).
For a ground control system (GCS), there's three to choose from: Mission Planner, APM Planner, and QGroundControl[3] (ignore the rest, use this one).
For configuring the drone, mission planner is pretty good... but you can also just use MavProxy[4] which is a fantastic commandline program that all the GCSes use in some way, and can even be installed in Termux/Android.
