Loaded Copter 3.6.0 rc2 with ChibiOS all went well but have a few observations
Pixhawk 2.1 with Here GPS
Have removed pre-Arm check on the safety switch as I like to see the Green Led when its has a GPS lock before arming.
The beep between mode changes is not as loud as the previous version
I like the new loiter but the I think the transition form forward flight 5 m/s is a bit abrupt the copter leans back very sharply.
On my machine there is a small twitch after the machine stops in loiter (Lean back then when the machine stops I notice the back arm drops slightly then settles.
Had to increase the P, I and D gains for pitch and roll. Didn’t feel as sharp.
Like anything is a matter of getting used to the changes.
hmm, not sure it has anything at all to do with hardware as flash to 3.5.5 removes the issue.
i am playing with lidars only supported in 3.6 so need to stick to it. it is a minor, and frankly seems to be an oddity, as all other commands on other channels work fine. only simple mode invocation seems to have a mind of its own.
btw, loiter was not choppy at all, but i had to run autotune on 3.6. and i noticed that autotune on 3.6 using oneshot125 protocol had different numbers from 3.5.5 on ‘0’ default esc protocol. overall 3.6 seemed to be more fluid in movements than 3.5.5.
