TEMP Parameters not available after update to 4.5.6

ArduPlane Plane 4.5
1

Hello, I am working with a CubeOrange+ and I updated from Plane 4.4.4 to 4.5.6 to take advantage of the analog temperature sensor capabilities that were added in 4.5. However the parameters don’t show up. Parameters Doc

I looked into the suggestion in the copter discussion Temperature Sensor Parameters not available on CubeOrange. That suggests a custom build is needed, however the option required: “AP_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_ENABLED” is already enabled by default in the stable build.

I am trying to figure out what gives. I am crawling through the source, and as far as I can tell, I should be seeing the TEMP[1-3]_Parameters in the list after an update to 4.5.6, but alas there are none.

Am I missing a step after updating?

This is the default for CubeOrange+
I would suggest you to select the remaining temperature sensors as well and see if that solves the problem.

Are the TEMP_Parameters not available in the stable build?

Ok, so I did do a custom build and now the appropriate TEMPx_Parameters show up. So I guess this means that even though the stable builds state that they are built with “AP_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_ENABLED” as confirmed with the firmware-features.txt in the build folders, they are not actually built with that feature.

This should probably be filed as a bug in the build process somewhere, not sure where to file the bug though.

@peterbarker more evidence that we should address this better.
