UTC2307 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/17649

  • We should auto-detect the message type rather than
  • Battery identifier required
  • Too much static information in the one message
  • What does this give rather than the existing battery messages?
  • How does this interact with the SMART_BATTERY_INFO message?
  • Float16 for cell voltages
  • An auxiliary message which gives more information for the information not covered elsewhere?
  • Single backend, multiple message listeners
  • Battery serial number

UTC2320 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/17669

  • Reverting Q pitch limit patch
  • Now skips q position 1 state for tailsitters
    • 100kph and then asking vtol controller to handle positioning…
      • Not really designed for that
      • Severe actions
      • Will pitch up at your max pitch rate
      • Will go up a really long way?
      • Not the perfect solution but gives smooth transitions back
  • Approach -> position2 on landing
    • Via tailsitter transition stuff
  • Airbraking and tailsitters is interesting
    • TVBS could do more during the aerobraking portion of the
