APM Copter 2.9.1.b has been released

Testing ArduCopter 3,1-rc2 Loiter in hot strong gusty winds with turbulence from surrounding tall trees, minimal PID tuning, good vibration isolation, compassmot and GPS antenna location, couldn't ask for more, liked it so much I did 2 flights over 10 minutes each waiting for the stronger gusts.

I use the latest version of Mission Planner 1.2.59. Can't at all see COMPASSMOT in the setup in CLI.

Can someone please help??

Thanks!

I've started an AC3.0 discussion here so let's move our AC3.0 discussions over there.

We are doing the upgrade more gently this time around. AC-2.9.1b will remain the default version pushed out by the mission planner for the next month or so but we're encouraging people to upgrade to 3.0 via the Mission Planner's Beta firmwares link.

I really want to thank all the people who have helped us test the various AC3.0 release candidates. I think we've saved the wider community a lot of trouble through your efforts and some copter sacrifice.

Hiya- I know this is an old question, but what is the best way to disable the "yaw towards next waypoint" behavior? I'd rather maintain a consistent yaw, because my copter is used for mapping "lawnmower" style, and I feel that it is wasting some energy yawing at each of the many 90 degree turns on its flight paths. I'd rather not compile custom code if I can avoid it. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

i built my second octocopter as a coaxial octo. This time i carefully selected props and motors for high efficiency, Now i like to use the "motor top bottom ratio function" (mot_tb_ratio) to minimize inefficiency due to the coaxial setup. The function is not used in 2.9

How can i activate this feature and are there any problems related to this?

Default PIDs and Setting...

I have a suggestion for documentation and for the first post of a new release like when R3 will become an official release. It would be nice to have a print screen of the "default" PIDs and access to a param file. That would make the information easy to refer to when we mess up our PIDs or when we change the wrong parameter in the advance settings.

I need to manually compile & upload my firmware because I use U4EAKE's code for my LED strips which run off the relay, but I'm getting a compile error. I do recall someone saying a while ago that you need to specify which board and configuration you are using for it to work. I have a quadcopter in X conf with APM 1.4 board. I've tried both version 1.0.1 and 1.0.3 of Arduino but I get the same error output. Any guidence will be greatly appreciated...
