UTC1118 - AP_Proximity: get_status() returns first good sensor status by rishabsingh3003 · Pull Request #25913 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Report sensor health from first good sensor status
- If you have multiple sensors and one of them is unhealthy then things stop working
- We do report the sensor failure correctly to the user

- Not a timeout
UTC1125 - Precland cleanups by amilcarlucas · Pull Request #26238 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Precland cleanups
- Rishabh’s happy with it
- Might conflict with tridge’s work?
- Tridge wants to backport
- Precland and follow-me similarities….
- Leonard would like to be able to use the same patterns in precland
- Offset with yaw is a thing for ship-landing
- Leonard would like to be able to use the same patterns in precland
- Heights are bad in precland?
- It is for some backends
- Amilcar’s doing some cool stuff
- So is Rhsabh
- Both depend on height be right
- lat/lng vs from-origin
- Randy really prefers offset-from-origin
- Conversion lat/lng
- Plane uses lat/lng but others don’t
- Nobody likes the relative-to-vehicle-position stuff in the API
- Beacon vs PrecLand APIs once we move to absolute positioning?
- Will delay merging this until after tridge’s PR is merged

- Autotest added for ship landing
- PH will have a closer look
- Define it out by default?
- Randy thinks there’s still time to get it in
- Why is it on Pixhawk1-1M-bdshot?
- We decided not to remove precland to not break things
