UTC1102 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/7432
- Parameter conversion now working
- Randy planning on reviewing it in the near future
- Runs through CI just fine, and any time Matt runs it locally
- Aligning all the vehicles with the same failsafe stuff
- MdB wants richer failsafe options
- GCS failsafe in Copter is problematic
- Different masks for different flight modes?
- GCS failsafe can work in any mode
- Bit for continue in auto mission
- Some options have changed to be bitmask options
UTC1104 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/9498
- Copter and Rover updatesā¦.
- Copter 3.6.11 - upgrade to it now!
- Hold-up on 4.0 is the vibration failsafe
- Need Paul to sort out the function call in EKF3 which is not implemented
- Randy will put out feelers to see if someone else can do the function for EKF3 which Paul can then check
- Assuming the implementation is much the same as EKF2
- vibration failsafe oscillates when in vibration failsafe
- Doesnāt get worse
- But takes a long time to settle down
- Landing detector also broken
- Climb rate from EKF function is very noisy
- Maybe just filter this in the landing detector?
- Various people want to get stuff into 4.0
- System identification-mode from Leonard
- Inject frequencies and see how the vehicle responds
- Standby mode?
- Harmonic notch filter from AP
- Anything in master will go out in 4.0
-
https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/12509
- Issues to solve before Rover 4.0 release
- Bendy ruler
- Wheel encoder support
- Ebin currently looking at
- Taking 3.5 off the devcall list
UTC1119 - Japan drone challenge
- 2km away, 1kmx1km area
- Find a dummy
- Search area was closer previously
- DJI real-time video may not reach that far
- May change competition a lot
- Far fewer teams
- Only 7 this time
- Probably because itās harder with the longer range
- New telemetry system
- Relaying via a second drone
- 20mW transmission limit
- Randy is gone until Saturday
UTC1123 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12504
- Automatic translation tools on Wiki
- In parameter descriptions we mash things together
- E.g. LandAndDisarm
- Spaces in parameter description would make this easier
- Muramura can feel free to add spaces to make the translation easier
UTC1126 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12502
- AP_Arming - remove the log bitmask
- Merged!
UTC1131 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12492
- Copter reject reboot request from autopilot if in esc cal
- Copter armed and hit ceiling indoors running through all possible calibrations
- Mission planner esc calibration value of 3
- Then Accelcal magcal
- Then mavlink reboot
- ESC cal 3 says esc calibration on reboot
- Full throttle on reboot puts escs into calibration
- But a soft reboot doesnāt do things correctly on reboot as the escs donāt see
- Default ESC calibration parameter setting is on on Copter
- So throttle-above-half and reboot twice you may flip over or do something else dangerous
- Add something so that if you detect motion during ESC calibration you cancel the calibration
- [10:40 AM] (Channel) Peter_Hall: or current
- Boat-mode?
- CAN needs a similar safety check for rebooting
UTC1141 - https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/issues/6624
- Separate values are better
- Letās fix the XML
UTC1147 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12478
- [10:48 AM] (Channel) Michael_duBreuil: just do the IMU temps as part of the update
- [10:48 AM] (Channel) Michael_duBreuil: Because that was the whole reason we added it
- Tridge: thatās what Iām doing
- Other bits can come in later
UTC1148 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12461
- Just remove unused parameter
- Merged!
UTC1150 - back to CAN
- Randy: This PR does close some loopholes
- Merge as-is and do more later
- Needs fix for 4.0
- Default for ESC calibration to disable
- Randy will change the ESC calibration
- Checking gyros on a boat would be a problem
- buzz_mobile: why not require vehicle to be armed to do motor cal?
UTC1157 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12426
- Calculate update rate?
- Delayed data issue
- Uniform 10Hz on each output is bad
- [11:02 AM] (Channel) rmackay9: I vote for Peterās change going in if itās an improvementā¦
- [11:02 AM] (Channel) buzz: Iād accept pbās code, other things are future enhancements
- Asprintf involves running the printf twice
- Snprintf uses sizeof which could be a problem
- [11:05 AM] (Channel) rmackay9: raise an issue and assign to himā¦
- Maybe put aside memory for printing
- Feature itself is great for interfacing with external system
- Merged the PR
UTC0008 - https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/12414
UTC0020 - Plane update
- Close to 4.0 release!
- Some CAN fixes into latest beta
- Hover-throttle learning by default on QuadPlane
- [11:20 AM] (Channel) MdB: and fixes bugs with it
UTC0020 - Canberra conference
- March 2020 27th-29th
- Have a venue
- Vote open to approve funding
- Vote early!
- Please vote if you are on the devteam
- Looking forward to seeing people in March!
- Moat around the building is nice
- Randy will be there a couple of days early
- Probably MdB as well
