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!
