UTC2300 - Scripting: Support sending and recieving MAVLink messages by WickedShell · Pull Request #13660 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- People would really love to get this!
- This PR is massively conflicted, however
- Need a procedure for generating the pre-compiled lua snippets required
- Can’t load all messages as we don’t have the RAM
- Mavgen lua binding generator works, but you have to cut stuff out
- Need an on-line thingy
- One file for each one and include them in your script separately?
- Worse than having the bindings in the script
- Also we don’t have “load”
- There’s a lot of work in here
- Who is going to do the work?
- Rebase, testing, documentation?
- Pregen all LUA bindings and put them up on firmware.ardupilot.org
- Extensions?
- Needs testing!
- Any volunteers?!
- Nope
UTC2315 - change namespace of MultiCopter and FixedWing parameter structures by peterbarker · Pull Request #21752 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Move fixed wing multicopter structures into separate files
- If binary sizes are close then this can be merged
UTC2319 - Copter: Autoyaw updates by IamPete1 · Pull Request #21651 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Back again
- Autoyaw updates
- For Randy to look at
UTC2321 - Backport compass calibration fixes by peterbarker · Pull Request #21894 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Backport compass fixes
- Leave it in the triage queue
UTC2324 - AP_Logger: scripting log format allocation fix by IamPete1 · Pull Request #21954 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Log format allocation fix
- Needs to check the malloc return values
- Allocating memory off main heap
UTC2330 - AP_Scripting: generation flash savings by IamPete1 · Pull Request #21980 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Flash generation savings
- Tridge will test
- WITH_SEMAPHORE is good
- Needs to be re-written in Python
UTC2339 - Add support for ICM45686 IMU by bugobliterator · Pull Request #22028 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Add support for ICM45686
- Some compass ordering issues thought through and dismissed
- Andy’s looking at the filtering
- merged!
UTC2339 - AP_InertialSensor: add fast reset for ICM20602 instead of full reset on bad temp sample by bugobliterator · Pull Request #22035 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Fast reset for 20602
- Bugs in the sensor
- We’ve known about this for a very long time
- Reset every 2 seconds in flight is a little disturbing, however
- Temperature data can be used to work out if the FIFO is stuffed
- Full fifo reset has device recovering
- This PR does a lighter-weight reset
- Just hit one bit
- Also adds logging so we can tell if this is happening
- 1Hz named-value-float to help with diagnostics
- Factory calibration registers
- Can change mid-flight…
- Workaround is to set them back to the original value
- Reading these also seemed to fix the device?
- Maybe if we never set or read these registers things won’t go wrong?
- No, Sid tested that
- People are becoming inured to internal errors because they’re having to force-arm because of this problem
- We’ll make this board-specific with an AP_IMU.*RESET.*ENABLED thing
- Will be backported
- Bouncing back to the bad IMU is bad as we will stick with it for some time - time enough to crash the vehicle
- Sensors have been sent to Invensense for them to look at
- May flip this to the second IMU
UTC2358 - APM_Control: remove unused methods by peterbarker · Pull Request #22053 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

UTC2359 - AP_HAL: add a sanity check that we don't minimize features on a 2MB board by peterbarker · Pull Request #22055 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Add sanity check we’re not mimising on 2MB boards
- Merged!
UTC2359 - AP_HAL_ChibiOS: factor out a save_some_flash.inc by peterbarker · Pull Request #22057 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Pull out common excludes into a separate file
- Do we really need classes of boards?
- MatekH743 vs CubrOrange
- “Premium” boards
- H7 or better etc
- 2MB or better
- 4 uarts
- Some of these (e.g. Durandal) are down to ~115kB
- But we can go to -Os and get vast amounts of stuff down
- “Drone racing” board?
- Do we really want to tie the application to the board?
- Merged!

- Peter will write a test which builds all boards on master (base branch), then on this PR
- Trying to get rid of ifdefs!
- _config.h files are good
UTC0021 - AP_Baro: tidy includes into AP_Baro_config.h by peterbarker · Pull Request #22064 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Move baro defines into config.h
- Merged
UTC0021 - AP_Baro: tidy includes into AP_Baro_config.h by peterbarker · Pull Request #22064 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Deprecate old ways of getting AUTOPILOT_VERSION
- Randy - These were very useful for finding deprecated messages
- Need some time when we’re going to remove support
- How about if we made stable releases not generate the warnings?
- Maybe don’t emit the deprecated warnings on stable releases?
- MAVLink Interface — Dev documentation
- QGC and QGC daily
- Warning to info

- Lots of acrobatics
- Bad transition on quadplane reported
- Tridge is looking at
- One partner reported too-high a descent rate
- Appears to be a sensor failure
- Stable release is going well
UTC0103 - Rover/Copter update
- ArduPilot issues page has lost the pins?
- 4.3.0 Copter went out yesterday
- Randy’s not aware of any huge issues
- Gimbal setup screens in MissionPlanner and QGC are now not working
- Using old parameter names
- Need to work with MO and QGC devs to get these working again
- No real-time gimbal control screen in QGC as far as Randy can see
- Craig said he gets a real-time gimbal control?
- David Worther from Phase1
- Standard desktop QGC
- Sliders around on a screen
- Similar to MissionPlanner
- DO_CHANGE_SPEED mission command not working after takeoff
- Internal error flow of control error from position controller
- There’s a new one in 4.3 in the crash detection
- This isn’t the one being called
- It’s the position controller not being called for 5 loops
- It assumes your scheduling is good
- Can happen at arming
- Landed should re-init the controller each loop
- Scheduling isn’t necessarily good
- It assumes your scheduling is good
- Gimbal setup screens in MissionPlanner and QGC are now not working
- Thanks to MdB for doing the reported-line-number in the flow-of-control error message!
- No Rover yet
- Wheel encoder is very noisy
- Blocking 4.3
- Wheel encoder is very noisy
UTC0125 - Plane: implement quaternion based ACRO mode by tridge · Pull Request #22086 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Quaternion based ACRO mode
- Yaw tau?
- Nobody’ll ever change it
- Yaw tau?
- Kff rudder mix is default
- Yaw damper and full yaw controller could cope with a motor loss
- Yaw rate controller is really only for acro
- Controllers trail slightly so rates can be achieved
- When you let go of the sticks you have to know when to stop the roll
- There’s a 0.2s fixed constant to handle this
UTC0135 - AP_RCProtocol: move pwm_values to frontend by bugobliterator · Pull Request #22084 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
- Move PWM values to front end
- Testing is the tricky part
- Saves RAM but consumes flash
- Protocol tester only does one at a time
- But parallel decoding is a problem
- This will require tridge to study it
- Need to buy more hardware for more people
UTC0144 - Dronecan serial tunnel is looking much nicer
- GPS access
- DroneCAN Serial Tunnel by bugobliterator · Pull Request #21942 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub
