Description
#### Issue details
Update barometric ground pressure during long flights:
Suitable hardware:
The Yocto-Altimeter-V2 device is a USB altimeter : it will give you an altitude estimate based on atmospheric pressure. The Yocto-Altimeter-V2 is precise enough to detect 10cm altitude changes. It will also give you the current pressure and temperature .
It is using the ICP-10100 sensor.
Supported Operating Systems:Windows (PC + IoT), Linux (Intel + ARM), macOS, Android.
That way the ground station can update the barometric ground pressure during long flights.
It should also combat barometer drift.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First trace how the C# Mission Planner handles ground barometric pressure for Copter and Plane, then assess how the Yocto-Altimeter-V2 and ICP-10100 could provide live pressure on the listed platforms. Define the observable result needed to confirm drift correction.
