How I Can Retrieve LightHouse Data Quality ?

[imamim]

Hello, we aim to use the LightHouse deck to fly our drones and want to check if the LightHouse data is being properly received to determine the status of the drone (i.e., whether it is in any fault state or not,may be quality check done). We plan to achieve this using cflib-python. How can we do this?

You can perhaps use the logs that are displayed in the lighthouse tab in the client
lighthouse.bsAvailable
lighthouse.bsReceive
lighthouse.bsActive
lighthouse.bsCalUd
lighthouse.bsCalCon

Thanks! lighthouse.status variable solve our problem using SyncLogger. When the LightHouse data status is okay returns 2 and we test it.We verified it works.

But we have a some problems about SyncCrazyflie.is_link_open() function for again same purpose.The problem is that:

This function continues to return the value True even though the drone has lost power. We are not sure if we understand this function correctly. How can we detect if the communication is still up in real time?
