ArduPilot Monthly Update for Aug 2020

aug2020-title-image
Here are the slides from the monthly report for Aug 2020 presented by Tridge, Randy and a few others at the monthly Partners call.

The image on the left is an update to the Daiwa winch which is a popular winch in Japan for drone delivery. We’ve recently updated the driver to consume the winch’s telemetry protocol which provides tension on the line and the amount of line let out.

The image on the right is from Rishabh Singh’s work on object avoidance for Copter and Rover. In this test he shows the backaway feature which is new for 4.1. Rishabh’s earlier blog can be found here and I think he’ll blog an update over the next couple of weeks.

Thanks very much to our Partners for their ongoing support!
