Complete Parameter List

Full Parameter List of AntennaTracker latest V4.7.0 dev

You can change and check the parameters for another version:

This is a complete list of the parameters which can be set (e.g. via the MAVLink protocol) to control vehicle behaviour. They are stored in persistent storage on the vehicle.

This list is automatically generated from the latest ardupilot source code, and so may contain parameters which are not yet in the stable released versions of the code.

AHRS_ Parameters

AHRS_GPS_GAIN: AHRS GPS gain

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This controls how much to use the GPS to correct the attitude. This should never be set to zero for a plane as it would result in the plane losing control in turns. For a plane please use the default value of 1.0.

Increment	Range
.01	0.0 to 1.0

AHRS_GPS_USE: AHRS use GPS for DCM navigation and position-down

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This controls whether to use dead-reckoning or GPS based navigation. If set to 0 then the GPS won't be used for navigation, and only dead reckoning will be used. A value of zero should never be used for normal flight. Currently this affects only the DCM-based AHRS: the EKF uses GPS according to its own parameters. A value of 2 means to use GPS for height as well as position - both in DCM estimation and when determining altitude-above-home.

Values
Value Meaning 0 Disabled 1 Use GPS for DCM position 2 Use GPS for DCM position and height

AHRS_YAW_P: Yaw P

This controls the weight the compass or GPS has on the heading. A higher value means the heading will track the yaw source (GPS or compass) more rapidly.

Increment	Range
.01	0.1 to 0.4

AHRS_RP_P: AHRS RP_P

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This controls how fast the accelerometers correct the attitude

Increment	Range
.01	0.1 to 0.4

AHRS_WIND_MAX: Maximum wind

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This sets the maximum allowable difference between ground speed and airspeed. A value of zero means to use the airspeed as is. This allows the plane to cope with a failing airspeed sensor by clipping it to groundspeed plus/minus this limit. See ARSPD_OPTIONS and ARSPD_WIND_MAX to disable airspeed sensors.

Increment	Range	Units
1	0 to 127	meters per second

AHRS_TRIM_X: AHRS Trim Roll

Increment	Range	Units

AHRS_ORIENTATION: Board Orientation

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

Overall board orientation relative to the standard orientation for the board type. This rotates the IMU and compass readings to allow the board to be oriented in your vehicle at any 90 or 45 degree angle. The label for each option is specified in the order of rotations for that orientation. This option takes affect on next boot. After changing you will need to re-level your vehicle. Firmware versions 4.2 and prior can use a CUSTOM (100) rotation to set the AHRS_CUSTOM_ROLL/PIT/YAW angles for AHRS orientation. Later versions provide two general custom rotations which can be used, Custom 1 and Custom 2, with CUST_ROT1_ROLL/PIT/YAW or CUST_ROT2_ROLL/PIT/YAW angles.

AHRS_COMP_BETA: AHRS Velocity Complementary Filter Beta Coefficient

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This controls the time constant for the cross-over frequency used to fuse AHRS (airspeed and heading) and GPS data to estimate ground velocity. Time constant is 0.1/beta. A larger time constant will use GPS data less and a small time constant will use air data less.

Increment	Range
.01	0.001 to 0.5

AHRS_GPS_MINSATS: AHRS GPS Minimum satellites

AHRS_OPTIONS: Optional AHRS behaviour

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This controls optional AHRS behaviour. Setting DisableDCMFallbackFW will change the AHRS behaviour for fixed wing aircraft in fly-forward flight to not fall back to DCM when the EKF stops navigating. Setting DisableDCMFallbackVTOL will change the AHRS behaviour for fixed wing aircraft in non fly-forward (VTOL) flight to not fall back to DCM when the EKF stops navigating. Setting DontDisableAirspeedUsingEKF disables the EKF based innovation check for airspeed consistency

ARSPD Parameters

ARSPD_ENABLE: Airspeed Enable

Enable airspeed sensor support

Values
Value Meaning 0 Disable 1 Enable

ARSPD_TUBE_ORDER: Control pitot tube order

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This parameter allows you to control whether the order in which the tubes are attached to your pitot tube matters. If you set this to 0 then the first (often the top) connector on the sensor needs to be the stagnation pressure (the pressure at the tip of the pitot tube). If set to 1 then the second (often the bottom) connector needs to be the stagnation pressure. If set to 2 (the default) then the airspeed driver will accept either order. The reason you may wish to specify the order is it will allow your airspeed sensor to detect if the aircraft is receiving excessive pressure on the static port compared to the stagnation port such as during a stall, which would otherwise be seen as a positive airspeed.

Values
Value Meaning 0 Normal 1 Swapped 2 Auto Detect

ARSPD_PRIMARY: Primary airspeed sensor

ARSPD_WIND_WARN: Airspeed and GPS speed difference that gives a warning

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

If the difference between airspeed and GPS speed is greater than this value the sensor will issue a warning. If 0 ARSPD_WIND_MAX is used.

Units

ARSPD_WIND_GATE: Re-enable Consistency Check Gate Size

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

Number of standard deviations applied to the re-enable EKF consistency check that is used when ARSPD_OPTIONS bit position 3 is set. Larger values will make the re-enabling of the airspeed sensor faster, but increase the likelihood of re-enabling a degraded sensor. The value can be tuned by using the ARSP.TR log message by setting ARSPD_WIND_GATE to a value that is higher than the value for ARSP.TR observed with a healthy airspeed sensor. Occasional transients in ARSP.TR above the value set by ARSPD_WIND_GATE can be tolerated provided they are less than 5 seconds in duration and less than 10% duty cycle.

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

The pin number that the airspeed sensor is connected to for analog sensors. Values for some autopilots are given as examples. Search wiki for "Analog pins".

Values
Value Meaning -1 Disabled 2 Pixhawk/Pixracer/Navio2/Pixhawk2_PM1 5 Navigator 13 Pixhawk2_PM2/CubeOrange_PM2 14 CubeOrange 16 Durandal 100 PX4-v1

ARSPD_AUTOCAL: Automatic airspeed ratio calibration

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

Enables automatic adjustment of airspeed ratio during a calibration flight based on estimation of ground speed and true airspeed. New ratio saved every 2 minutes if change is > 5%. Should not be left enabled.

ARSPD_TUBE_ORDR: Control pitot tube order

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This parameter allows you to control whether the order in which the tubes are attached to your pitot tube matters. If you set this to 0 then the first (often the top) connector on the sensor needs to be the stagnation pressure (the pressure at the tip of the pitot tube). If set to 1 then the second (often the bottom) connector needs to be the stagnation pressure. If set to 2 (the default) then the airspeed driver will accept either order. The reason you may wish to specify the order is it will allow your airspeed sensor to detect if the aircraft is receiving excessive pressure on the static port compared to the stagnation port such as during a stall, which would otherwise be seen as a positive airspeed.
