  • Another Guided-terrain-alt issue
    • We previously we were only checking for correct altitude last time
    • Some circumstances it will climb and come back down again
      • Pretty severe bug given typical max height constraints
    • New autotest
      • Depends on climb/descend
      • Need to go back and forth to reproduce
  • Upset recovery problem
    • Tridge has a reproducible test case where qloiter continues for a very long time
    • Not Plane-specific?
    • Scripted bindings to set pos/vel/accel
      • Maybe be able to auto-test it
    • Locks in at a few degrees
    • Limit flags are being set
  • M10 configuration issue is back
    • Tim and tridge will work together on this
    • It’s DroneCAN and the version of the fw on the flight controller should make absolutely no difference
  • Andy’s worked with a user on a lockup related to bdshot
    • No PR yet
  • Heap allocation issue
    • MissionPlanner simulator can get hap allocation error
    • Thomas is looking at it
      • Maybe malloc isn’t clearing memory again?
  • Invensense IMU problem?
  • Microbrain proximity sensor?
    • AIS not working on Copter?
  • Tradheli internal error?
    • Ferucio…
  • Pre-arm check from Sid on IMU loop stuff
    • Will come back to this later
