- Vscode editor instructions and references
- Want these to be better than eclipse…
- Randy tried it and didn’t have much luck
- Randy will try it again
- But thinks this can be merged now
- Sid’s made an extension for it but hasn’t done work on it for a while
- You can set up a button to do compilation
- Integration with wsl
- Vscode is native
- Ssl link into wsl…
- Would be nice to be able to get cygwin run it in the Windows environment
- TP thinks we should drop Cygwin ASAP
- Windows 10+ does gui integration too
- [video demonstration of it all working on PH’s desktop]
- Tom’s got hacks in a PR to allow uploading to stm32 boards from wsl2
- OpenDronID mavlink packets
- Merging so we can understand the messages in GCS and whatnot
- Josh will do PRs to fix yaw vs heading
- Merged
- RTCM corrections
- Needs to allow on Periph
- This uses a lot of bandwidth
- We get high rates because of gps-for-yaw
- This may not work generally…
- Out-of-space will make corrupted packets
- Specify a port to send on?
- Boolean response for success?
- Use existing queue system?
- Difficult given the data storage constraints
- This would be a device on the ground sending RTCM data to the aircraft
- Direct or indirect…
- Survey-in?
- Survey-in-in-post
- Different protocol for post-processing?
- Still useful for flying precisely rather than accurately
- LUA script?
- It could do the survey-in
- Decimation too
- Range concerns
- Minimum bindings…
- MissionPlanner does something similar, but uses far less bandwidth
UTC1138 - AP_TECS.cpp: remove line copy error by rbeall · Pull Request #20792 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- If new behaviour is correct then we can adjust the test
- Can get the logs for the failed test from CI
- Peter will help with the autotest failures
- @SYS/defaults.parm
- Set_default vs direct assignment a bit of an issue
- Mish-mash of tridge’s and PH’s efforts
- Slight flash cost
- Worth it
-
param: support downloading param defaults from vehicle by tridge · Pull Request #1077 · ArduPilot/MAVProxy · GitHub
- To get real defaults from vehicle and store them persistently
- Should be linked back to param editor
- Command long to repack parameters…
- Fuel-level-analogue battery backend
- Ratiometric?
- Sensor already has filtering so lpf not required
- Filter frequency off by a factor of 1000?
- Want a pragma
- Richenpower generator disable by default
- Stop using it for Richenpower, add it to the boards.py
- But keep the infrastructure
- Fix Clang compiler warnings
- Clean up serial RangeFinder detection
- Can be merged after being tested on hardware
- Gimbal cleanup
- Make earth-frame/body frame angle and rate control
- Servo gimbals will be able to do earth and body frame rates
- Say you’re rc-targetting then you rotate the Copter… what happens?
- Mount-lock switch low means body-frame (i.e. gimbal will move with vehicle)
- Up means it will lock on target
- NaNs are in the spec. They’re difficult
- uint32_t() rather than (uint32_t)
- How many people are actually using AlexMOS or STorm32 gimbals?
- Should we drop support for these gimbals?
- Is anybody using these?
- Randy couldn’t buy one
- … and the funding committee was reluctant
- Can be merged when the little thing is fixed up
- Don’t need to stream this by default
- If this is only sent in guided mode then we can probably merge it in….
- Pre and post filter fft logging
- Uses instance field for pre/post filtered things
- Should probably remove bitfields
- Reserve first 2 bits for IMU number
- Then filter state in 2 bits
- Want to structure things a bit better in the bits
- Allow for more phases
- Nice feature!
