if we load an element other than the X element of a Vector3f via
MAVLink then the value reported back to the GCS would be at the wrong
offset in memory. This led to some very confusing results for users
- throttle slew rate was using % full range including the negative range (-100 to +100 instead of 0 to 100) which meant it was faster
- throttle integrator windup limit was higher than normal because it's a porportional to throttle max - min but that makes no sense when min is negative causing larger limits
On early versions of minlure an RGB LED was wrongly placed next to the
barometer, causing trouble on it.
Additionally depending on the LED intensity it may be a pain to leave it
turned on for boards supposed to be used for bench testing. This allows
to disable the LED by software so we don't have to remove it.
// @Description: This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in speed and height. If set to 0 then TECS_PTCH_DAMP will be used instead.
+ // @Description: This is the damping gain for the throttle demand loop during and auto-landing. Same as TECS_THR_DAMP but only in effect during an auto-land. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in speed and height. When set to 0 landing throttle damp is controlled by TECS_THR_DAMP.
Description: If battery wattage (voltage * current) exceeds this value then the system will reduce max throttle (THR_MAX and TKOFF_THR_MAX) to satisfy this limit. This helps limit high current to low C rated batteries regardless of battery voltage. The max throttle will slowly grow back to THR_MAX (or TKOFF_THR_MAX) if demanding the current max and under the watt max.
ERB - Emlid Reach Binary protocol.
That driver designed for communication between Reach
and ArduPilot.
Provided opportunities:
- Detection of the driver
- Parsing of input messages: status of transmitter
and navigation information.
- Inject GPS messages from base
Use an Euler yaw heading that switches between a 321 and 312 rotation
sequence to avoid areas of singularity. Using Euler yaw decouples the
observation from the roll and pitch states and prevents magnetic
disturbances from affecting roll and pitch via the magnetometer fusion
process.
