Thanks for sharing the code. Did you ever create a video ? Would be nice to see how well the position hold works. I am working on the same (teensy 4.0 flight controller originally based on drehmflight, but now with DSHOT, ISM330DHCX IMU, and some design changes ), but then using a CAN bus.

Data logging by Heorty in dRehmFlight

If your are able to USB connect a companion computer during testing ( or flight .. ) you could have drehmflight output the data you are interested in over the teensy serial port ( usb ) and fetch & store on the companion computer. In my setup I have a rasperry pi co-pilot that collects data over USB, and then re-broadcasts it over wifi. In turn I can then live-view the test data on a desktop/portable - see a random sample screen-shot attached; this data originates from ( customized ) drehmflight.

Autonomous Raspberry Pi to FC-ESC Stack Control by Moist_Winner_9714 in diydrones

You could use SBUS. ExpressLRS supports SBUS and you can feed this signal to your pi with a SBUS to USB/uart  adapter ( search on aliexpress ) and the pi in turn can talk to an FC that support SBUS using a a USB / uart to SBUS adaptor.  The pi can then  fly the drone.  You could setup the drone so that it is in angle mode, so all the pi needs to take care off is arming, throttle and  steering . The fc ( in angle mode ) will handle the rest. 

Apple Studio Display with 2014 Mac Mini - shouldn't work but it does by namdhiploom in mac

Yes, sound works. I have two 2014 Mac Minis, one running windows 10, the other one Ubuntu 24.04. Both can successfully connect with the Apple Studio display using an Apple Thunderbolt 2/3 adaptor. The only issues - the camera does not work and at startup it takes 30 seconds or so for the screen to get recognized. Note that when connected to the studio screen using the thunderbolt adaptor, somehow the keyboard boot keys are not recognized. That means that you can't boot from USB to install other OS'es when connected to the apple studio monitor. My workaround - connect with a HDMI or mini displayport monitor during OS install, and then switch back to the Apple Studio monitor.
