It’s come to my attention that the Pixhawk2.1 from the factory does not come with default settings. this means AFAIK
AHRS_ORIENTATION = 180
BRD_IMU_TARGTEMP = 0 # (? is 60 or should be reset to 60)
This means it does work OOB for first time users. Any idea how we can alleviate a bad configuration, especially temperature. AHRS_ORIENTATION is easily visible.
Are there any other “gotcha’s” with this board we should know about?
A word on the battery monitor, especially with the stated intent of getting new users to learn, why solder XT60’s directly to the board?
Whats wrong with pigtails?
As these connectors are limited to 60A I now have to unsolder them or toss them.
2 more plugs in the main power supply is a novice thing to do.
So it seems counter intuitive to do that.
All said constructively, as I am looking forward to using Pixhawk2 as a standard build unit.
