We seem to be getting a “geo-fence setup error” when turning on the fence since the last arduplane firmware upgrade.We have tried reloading and reading and creating new fences.
Is anybody else seeing that?
What are the conditions that trigger this erro

Hi,
Would be cool when you release new firmware improvement list if you could mention every single time which AP (APM / Pixhawk) is concerned, as this is not super clear when the list of improvements is described (arduplane 3.2 for instance).

In the log bitmask there are two Attitude bit flags at bit 0 and bit 1. Attitude Fast and Attitude Medium.
If I set BOTH bit flag values to 0 does that give me Attitude Slow and extend the logging time somewhat ?

Hi guys,
Having good success with AdruPlane V3.1.2beta1 loaded on my HK Falcon flying wing. Did a couple of tunes today, then tested fbwa, stabilise, and a short auto mission with no major problems.
What I do wonder about though is how auto_tune functi

Can somebody tell me what data type the log_bitmask parameter value is for ArduPlane (V3.X) ?
In ArduCopter it's a signed value (2's complement). Is it in Plane also ?
On from that, has anyone got a bitmask calculator for the log_
