ArduPlane 2.66 released

I've just released ArduPlane 2.66

This release fixes a number of small issues in 2.65. In particular

  • fixed auto-takeoff if you mission specifies a 0 value for latitude/longitude in the TAKEOFF command. This makes auto-takeoff missions easier to setup with Mission Planner
  • fixed doc strings for loiter radius to reflect new larger maximum radius. This should allow a loiter radius above 127 to be specified in Mission Planner
  • Added support for altitude override from Mission Planner in auto (thanks to Michael)
  • allow battery voltage/current pins to be set to different pins (thanks to Randy)
  • added differential spoiler support for elevon planes (thanks to Xichen Shi). This isn't documented yet, but hopefully will be soon.
  • fixed control of additional aileron channels in manual mode (so they follow the main aileron channel)

There are a lot more things being worked on right now, but I decided to get this out as a stable release update before putting in lots of new code.

Happy flying!

Cheers, Tridge

Hi Djalma,

I plan on releasing 2.67 as soon as I get a chance to do a final test flight with the recent changes.
 Probably later today, depending on the local wind conditions!

Cheers, Tridge

Hi Andrew,

Could be possible to implement a second battery voltage reading through Mavlink protocol? Will be necesary a second voltage reference for an improvement reading?

I have emptied three onboard video batteries with an obvious result of a three batteries bricked  :(

Other application of this could be fly a copter with two batteries instead of one.

With this we can take more time in flight.

Thanks for your effort Andrew,

Regards from Spain,

Dario.

Hi Tridge,

I see you released 2.67, thank you. 2.66 seems to be working fine for me, so, before I upload, would you mind noting the changes in 2.67?

BR,

Steven
