- Fix has gone in so payload place and land don’t get stuck
- Red herring on circle speed
- A bunch of PRs have appeared from various developers

- Need to make it is actually hovering not in transition
- Small maths bug for 4.7 yet to come from Leonard
- Copter crash when using autotune with fast rates?
- Regular H7
- Looks a bit like a motor failure and not always on same motor
- Log shows a bunch of stuff that it shouldn’t be showing
- Some corner cases not being handled correctly?
- Maybe not an acceptable configuration range?
- CPU is maxed out and it is in fast-rates
- Two threads with two different things
- CPU may not be getting to all threads correctly?
- ESC desync?!
- Probably difficult to get scope trace
- Reproducible on the ground?

- zero del vel bias states after covariance update
- Merged!
UTC2337 - AP_NavEKF3: add 2-state IMU-aided AGL Kalman filter for optical flow by rishabsingh3003 · Pull Request #32389 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Add 2-state IMU-aided AGL Kalman filter
- Can we replace A with B?
- Yes, but it’s not trivial we can’t do it automatically
- Merged!
UTC2344 - Refactor sending of camera_description message up into AP_Camera_backend by peterbarker · Pull Request #32515 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Factor out sending of camera information message
- Merged!
UTC2346 - AP_RangeFinder: Add driver for LightWare GRF250 - I2C by rishabsingh3003 · Pull Request #32923 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Add driver for the Lightware GR250-I2C
- Review left
- Peter will merge once Rishabh’s looked at the review comments
UTC0003 - Copter: Auto mode zero-alt-above-terrain fix by rmackay9 · Pull Request #32943 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Throw a failsafe rather than using above-home
- The whole “zero” as current altitude thing needs discussing
- Randy will write an autotest
UTC0008 - Tradheli - reorganize to allow spool state update before rsc update by bnsgeyer · Pull Request #32962 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Allow spool state update before rsc update
- SITL tested by a couple of people
- Logic error
- Randy will look
- Related to Copter, Plane, Sub, AP_Motors: spoolup reporting enhancements by lthall · Pull Request #32955 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Spoolup reporting enhancements
- Leonard wants to change the idle state
- When moving armed to min
- Checks want to run e.g. RPM checks
- Spoolup-block functionality needs to allow the idle state to go all the way to min throttle and then wait
- When moving armed to min
- Copter doesn’t require you to have spinning motors at mot-spin-arm
- Randy didn’t mind having it as a requirement
- So moving the block o min rather than armed
UTC0012 - AP_Motors: increase BAT_VOLT_MAX and MIN ranges for 14S batteries by muramura · Pull Request #32970 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Increase BAT_BOLT_MAX and min ranges for 14S batteries
- Thing is there’s been 100S systems out there!
- What do we want to gate ordinary users at?
- Anything above 12S is getting dangerous….
- Responsibility liability here?
- Leonard would thing 24S is a more appropriate number
- Lots of other parameters are affected by this maximum!
- E.g. your motor battery voltages
- E.g. battery failsafe voltages
- BATTERY_STATUS_V2
- If you want to be involved in the development of this next-gen message then ping Peter
- PR to be changes to 24S
- Investigation need about other parameters
UTC0023 - AP_Logger: allow for much faster logging over MAVLink by tridge · Pull Request #33020 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Allow for much faster logging over mavlink
- Peter would prefer his push-in-thread PR

UTC0121 - Update GPS offset when setting BARO_FIELD_ELV by Maarrk · Pull Request #32983 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Update GPS offset when setting BARO_FIELD_ELEV
- Interesting work-around by setting alt source to GPS and then the baro will magically adjust….
- We have wanted to correct baro alt based on GPS data
- We should look at correcting the barometer back towards the GPS even when using it as a height source
UTC0139 - discussion of magically created autotest
UTC0140 - devcall tomorrow
- Many devs not available
- 4.7 Wiki issues - please check them if you’ve added features!
