Cube Orange / MP Observations

Ground Control Software Mission Planner

Using the latest Beta of MP and daily for the Cube orange and would like clarification on the following items I noticed were different than expected.

  • Extended Tuning: Rate Roll, Pitch and Yaw filters contain a 0 value and cannot be changed in MP. ATC_RAT_PIT_FILTT and ATC_RAT_ROLL_FILTT both have a value of 20 in the full parameter listing, but note that http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/parameters.html#atc-rat-rll-filt-ac-attitudecontrol-multi has one less “T” in the parameter name.
  • Extended Tuning: No RC6 Option.
  • Initial Setup/Battery Monitor: HW Version “8. Cube Orange” can be selected, but the value doesn’t appear to load when connecting to the FC. BATT_CURR_PIN has a value of 15 which is correct.
  • INS_FAST_SAMPLE is set to 5, FirstIMU and ThirdIMU, Second IMU is unchecked. This may not be the correct forum topic to get clarification on this.
  • Even after a new install of MP on a virgin Win10 PC, you must run “driver clean” and re-install the drivers to connect to the Cube Orange.

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

The base issue here are drivers, and the change from a. Single serial port to a dual configuration. This invalidates the driver. And causes all this problem. The solution is to install the latest driver MSI from ardupilot firmware server

@Michael_Oborne - Understood, thanks. A relatively small problem easily overcome.
