The changes +are: -The first is to support the MS5525 sensor on multiple I2C -addresses. Two new values of the ARSDP_TYPE are introduced (4 and 5) -for specific I2C addresses. This allows you to deconflict the MS5525 -from a MS5611 barometer on the same bus. + - fixed an issue where the external safety button can activate in + flight on some boards, causing them to crash. A new parameter + BRD_SAFETYOPTION is added which controls the behaviour of the + safety button. The default is to de-activate the safety button when + armed. -The second is the addition of a driver for the SDP33 airspeed -sensor. This is an interesting sensor sold by Drotek that doesn't need -zero offset calibration for each flight. It is still considered -experimental. + - fixed default orientation of ICM-20948 compass for Here GPS -The third new feature is dual airspeed sensor support, which allows -you to have two independent airspeed sensors. At the moment the -failover between the sensors is very simple (it will only failover if -the primary stops communicating). More sophisticated failover methods -will be introduced in the future. To enable a 2nd airspeed sensor set -the ARSPD2_TYPE parameter to the type of the 2nd sensor. You can -combine any types of sensor. + - added support for dual airspeed sensors + + - added support for the SDP33 airspeed sensor. This is still + considered experimental. There are reports of it underestimating + the aircrafts speed at higher altitudes. + + - add support for the MS5525 airspeed sensor on multiple I2C + addresses.
