Hello ArduPilot community,
I 'm quite new here (this is my first message) and generally new in the world of drones and ArduPilot.
I’m running ArduRover V4.5.5 in SITL on WSL2 in Windows 10. Everything is working well - I can connect to the rover and execute missions without issues. I primarily use mavproxy to interact with the drone, but I also connect with Mission Planner.
However, I’m encountering a minor annoyance: the console is continuously flooded with the message “Field Elevation Set: 0m” appearing every second. This makes it very difficult to see other important messages.
Is there a way to disable or reduce the frequency of this specific message? I’ve looked through the documentation but haven’t found a solution. I have researched quite extensively, but could not find anything relevant, and whatever I tried has failed. The only similar message here is this one (with a screenshot that actually shows a flooded message console, like mine), but has no answer.
Is there a mavproxy command and/or boot argument to suppress this message? Why does is it sent every second in the first place? Is it an altimeter fault or something that tries to correct itself?
My setup:
- ArduRover V4.5.5 (frame_class=2)
- SITL on WSL2 (Windows 10)
- Connecting via Mission Planner
Any guidance on how to manage this message would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
PS - I run this SITL simulation to familiarize myself with Ardupilot - I have a small sea vessel running on a CUAV V5 with a Raspberry 5 and this SITL attempts to model that physical setup.
