Loco??

[karlscholz]

What does Loco mean? Low cost? Could'nt find anything anywhere where the term Loco, or its origin is explained. Is it even an acronym?

"Loco" means "crazy" in Spanish, and is similar to the start of "Localization". We thought it was a nice parallel to the "crazy" in Crazyflie.

of course.
By the way do you know where I can find a specific code documentation for the loco system?
I found these:

• https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/system/positioning/loco-positioning-system/
• https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/repository/lps-node-firmware/master/
• https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/tutorials/getting-started-with-loco-positioning-system/

But none of them are very close to the code. Is there another documentation that helps me understand better which function calls what and how it is implemented in the main system loop or do you have any tips for me on how and where to start with reverse engineering the code?
