Plane 3.9.0beta4 released

Set this to PPM for Ardupilot. The firmware should determine its sbus connected and accept that just fine.

Quadplane (Mini Talon) with 3.9.0beta5 ChiBios on pixhawk 1 today performed second flight with this fimrware. QSTABILIZE, QHOVER, QLOITER, FBWA, AUTOTUNE, MANUAL and AUTO-Track workes perfect. Thanks to Tridge and the other developers.

3.9.0beta5 ChiBios on radiolink mini-pix not getting rxrssi value in beta 5, just shows value of 0.

tridge · July 22, 2018, 8:54pm

What type of RX are you using? What sort of RSSI does it provide? (analog? pwm?)
Cheers, Tridge

jelkins · July 22, 2018, 8:57pm

Sorry, L9R analog… it works on 3.8.5 and didn’t on 3.9.0beta5, I went back to 3.8.5 and still works then tried 3.9.0beta5 again and still 0.

What was the “fixed compass detection on pixracer” problem?

I use external compasses with Arduplane 3.8.5 and Pixracers and am curious.

Thanks,

Paul

thanks for contributing, you’re a legend, dude!

tridge · July 23, 2018, 10:16pm

It was broken in the previous betas due to a change in the way we handled i2c internal/external bus masks.
Cheers, Tridge

flyingw · July 23, 2018, 10:43pm

Ok, brilliant. It has worked well for me. Thanks for all your work Tridge. Paul

This flight control is very small.

Guy_Tzoler · July 24, 2018, 8:37am

not sure if related, but i’ll ask, what OSD are we talking about minimOSD? or is there anything newer?

vierfuffzig · July 24, 2018, 9:28am

@Guy_Tzoler support for FCs with onboard MAX7456-type OSD chipsets has recently been added:

@tridge, camera triggering via digital relay is NOT working in 3.9.0beta6 ChibiOS. It is working, however, in 3.8.5 nuttx. I’m using Aux1 on a cube. https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/9090

tridge · August 3, 2018, 11:24am

@Naterater as we discussed, this was caused by BRD_PWM_COUNT being set incorrectly. A bug in 3.8.5 allowed the cam trigger to work even when it was setup as a PWM output

beard · August 3, 2018, 11:36pm

Hi, I can’t set SERIALx_BAUD on Matek F405-Wing. Can anyone else try if it works for them?

tridge · August 4, 2018, 12:20am

how are you setting it? What GCS? What error do you get?

beard · August 4, 2018, 9:21am

Mission Planner (1.3.57). Setting it from Configuration>Full Parameter list, as per instructions http://www.itluxembourg.lu/site/software-installation/

But I found a reason for the problem - faulty board I’ve confirmed this after flashing back INav, board locks up after a minute or so, and stops responding.
Sorry for the false alarm, I will ask for a replacement.
