|

|
||||
The key changes to existing behaviour to watch out for in this update
|
||||
are:
|
||||
|
||||
USB IDs
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
ArduPilot has now switched to it's own USB IDs for all boards. For
|
||||
most users this won't cause any change, except they may notice the
|
||||
drop down list of devices in MissionPlanner will have the ArduPilot
|
||||
flight controllers labelled more usefully as "ArduPilot" instead of
|
||||
just "STM32". If you hit issues on windows please try reinstalling the
|
||||
device drivers from this URL:
|
||||
https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Tools/MissionPlanner/driver.msi
|
||||
|
||||
Terrain
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
A bug fix in the format ArduPilot uses to store terrain data means
|
||||
that your flight controller will need to re-download the terrain data
|
||||
onto the sdcard via your GCS. If you fly without a GCS and you use
|
||||
terrain data then please re-download the terrain data you need by
|
||||
setting up a mission when you have internet access and allowing your
|
||||
flight controller to request terrain data from your GCS.
|
||||
|
||||
Pressure Altitude Compensation
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds in the missing hook for the VTOL motor controller on
|
||||
a quadplane to compensate the VTOL gains using your pressure
|
||||
altitude. For most people this will not have a noticible effect, but
|
||||
some users that have tuned their aircraft for high locations may
|
||||
notice a tuning change.
|
||||
|
||||
Compass Ordering
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The new compass ordering system in this release gives a lot more
|
||||
flexibility and should preseve existing configurations and
|
||||
calibrations. If you hit issues then please have a look at the new
|
||||
compass ordering user interface in recent beta releases of
|
||||
MissionPlanner.
|
||||
|
||||
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to and tested this release!
|
||||
|
||||
Happy flying!
