Copter-3.5.0-rc9 is now available for beta testing and should appear within the next few hours in the Mission Planner's (and other GCS's) beta firmware's link. This is just bug fixes and minor enhancements over -rc8 (Release Notes):
- AutoTune improvement when using position hold (twitches in body-frame instead of earth-frame)
- GPS fixes:
- RTK GPS fix when large RTK correction messages are sent
- auto-detection for NMEA disabled (NMEA users must explicitly set GPS_TYPE to 5)
- EKF bug fixes:
- fix bug preventing use of optical flow for terrain height estimation
- fix bug affecting accuracy of optical flow estimated height during climb/descent
- return accel filter (INS_ACCEL_FILT) to 20hz (some users were seeing oscillations at 10hz)
For those who have discovered potential issues during testing, please create a new topic in the Copter-3.5 category and if possible include a dataflash log file (aka a ".bin" file).
If no critical issues are uncovered we are planning to release -rc9 as the official AC3.5.0 within a week or so. We have a few known issues that we plan to tackle in follow up "point" releases (i.e. AC3.5.1):
- Spektrum receiver binding problems (discussion)
- Pixracer DSM receiver can lead to input corruption (discussion)
- enabling UAVCAN leads to "baro unhealthy" message (discussion)
- OLED display's "EKF: ok" always says ok (issue14)
- Slight delay in turning to next waypoint (discussion10)
- Mission-Clear-All from QGroundControl is failing 50% of the time
If you think I have missed some critical issues and want me to look into them further, could you reply to this thread with a link? I'll jump on them and re-investigate.
Thanks again for helping with the testing, we're almost there!
P.S. Sorry, if I've been a little slow answering support requests, I've cleared a hurdle recently with the 3rd semester of the DroneSchool completing so I should have more time from now on.
