# ECL
**Very lightweight Estimation & Control Library.**
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/PX4/ecl.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/PX4/ecl)
This library solves the estimation & control problems of a number of robots and drones. It accepts GPS, vision and inertial sensor inputs. It is extremely lightweight and efficient and yet has the rugged field-proven performance.
The library is currently BSD licensed, but might move to Apache 2.0.
## Building EKF Library
### Prerequisites:
* Eigen3: http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php installed
#### Ubuntu:
```
sudo apt-get install libeigen3-dev
```
#### Mac
```
brew install eigen
```
By following the steps mentioned below you can create a shared library which can be included in projects using `-l` flag of gcc:
```
mkdir Build/
cd Build/
cmake ../EKF
make
```
Alternatively, just run:
```
./build.sh
```
