Attendee count (max): 16
UTC1100 - Conference update
- Annual developer conference
- Reno Stead probably ruled out
- We’re too big for conference
- 50
- Really training rooms
- Too small for flying outside
- We’re too big for conference
- Maybe a local airfield?
- Tom’s concerned the numbers could absolutely explode
- A hotel which can expand as the attendance grows?
- Reno can do that sort of thing
- There’s a group in Japan that was interested
- DroneJapan which runs the drone school in Japan
- Run events all the time
- Kaga City
- Northern coast
- A bit of a hike from Tokyo
- Shinkansen 4.5 hours, 3.5 hours after an update
- There are direct flights Sydney->KMG (near Kaga City), so probably same from other major airports
- Lots of flying opportunities
- Planes, multis and boats
- (Randy shows powerpoint with lots of cool things)
- Drone Japan would do a lot of the work to set things up
- Candidate dates:
- Oct 18-20
- Oct 25-27
- November 1st to 3rd
- Weather should be mild on all of these
- Week after Randy’s competition
- Visa waiver program should make things straight-forward
- Considerably easier to get to Japan than Canberra
- Group houses?
- Worked really well in Canberra
- “Too old for Royukan”?
- They were thinking more regular hotels
- Maybe cheaper than Canberra, too
- Smaller town
- So maybe Japan this year, Reno next?
- Randy might head over to have a look
- Maybe put something out on the mailing list
- Come back next week and make a decision
- FliteTest was also considered
- Maybe 2025 if Reno can’t work?

UTC1134 - AP_Periph: send temperature and Vehicle: receive temperature by IamPete1 · Pull Request #25993 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

UTC1142 - AP_Scripting: add lua implementation of Copter's target location bindings by robot-to-society · Pull Request #26013 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Add lua implementation of Copter’s target location
- Interesting race condition when you want to update a location based on the old location
- LUA script must ask for current location, create a new location, send both back in
- Copter will reject the target location update unless the passed-back-in original matches the current target location
- Carried over from bendy-ruler C++ code
- For Copter ship landing?
- The LUA bindings needs a massive comment explaining the idea behind the update calls

- Change a lot of Plane parameters over to deg or m/s or m

- Floor vs min is interesting
- Why not CRUISE_AIRSPEED?
- To group with AIRSPEED_MIN and MAX

- Surely now is the time to rename it

- Wiki is going to need a large update
- Tridge wrote a script to convert the in-tree parm files too
- Use for defaults.parm?
- Probably a web tool instead?
