Plane 4.2 beta release


I’ve just released ArduPilot Plane 4.2.0beta4. Several important fixes are included since the previous beta, plus some new features.

  • added BATT_OPTIONS option to send resting voltage (corrected for internal resistance) to the ground station
  • fixed a bug when a blended GPS is lost, where the wrong GPS could be used for a short time
  • prevent rapid RTL/AUTO switching with DO_LAND_START and fence breach
  • added RTL_AUTOLAND=3 to prevent arming check about DO_LAND_START with no RTL_AUTOLAND
  • fixed yaw in AUTO mode on the ground on quadplanes when using rudder to disarm
  • fixed failover between IOMCU RC input and a secondary RC input on a uart
  • display source of RC input with protocol
  • fixed DShot reversal bugs with IOMCU based boards
  • fixed battery remaining percentage with sum battery backend
  • added KakuteH7-bdshot
  • added terrain reference adjustment and TERRAIN_OFS_MAX parameter
  • fixed param conversion bug (impacts airspeed enable)
  • changed MatekH743 to use a 32 bit timer

Happy flying!
