AC2 2.0.6 Beta

Just letting you all know that a new version is up. You must use the new version of Michael's Tool to do the setup. The older tool won't work with this version. CLI usage through the Arduino serial window will always work.

 

Many bugs are squashed. PID reports correctly now for D terms. 

The new rate based nav is on by default, but please be careful with it. Keep that hand on the Mode switch! 

Frames are a compile time option in the AP_Config.h file. (or use the GUI tool)

Frame orientation (X or + ) is done with a CLI based setup menu. (or use the GUI tool)

Basic motor LEDs are enabled.

Logging should be better but let's try and narrow down on the Bad Logs bug.

    Yeah, that won't be flyable. Please grab the latest libraries off the svn. They include th PI loop in the PID class.
  • Glad to be of any help John.

    There was an issue in 2.0.7 if you had Yaw_I set to anything but 0. please re-download it or set it to 0 in the config tool.

  • NICE FIX Olivier.  I can read my logs now.

     

    Just go through logs.pde, and at the beginning of the functions that use log_step, where it is declared a byte, change it to this.

     

    byte log_step = 0;

     

     

  • @John Church,

     

    There is a problem in get_num_logs() and get_log_boundaries() functions in log.pde. The variable log_step should be initialize to 0 at the beginning of the functions. This fixed the "Bad log number" issue I also had.

    If you are able to modify your code and re-upload to your board, you will be able to download your logs.

    Mees, have a look at the radio screen, it has all the motor outputs
  • Concerning 206 and the new MP. I noticed that the motor indication in the MP were deleted. Will this feature come back inthe future?

    Also the dampening parameter is gone. I thought this was a crucial parameter in getting the quad stable. 

  • Thanks Jason & Chris.

    I've uploaded a new zip file of 2.06 that should have everything, libraries and all.
