New Features¶
Option to clear GCS RC overrides on RC stick input, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/7880
Accel and gyro consistency pre-arm checks now run concurrently, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/7921
EK3_OPTIONS bits for optical flow (terrain alt above rangefinder range, AGL Kalman filter for flow scaling), see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/7962
MAV_CMD_DO_SET_MISSION_CURRENT can now reset DO_JUMP repeat counters without changing the current mission item, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/7982
Read-only MAVn_DEVID parameter identifying which port each MAVLink channel’s parameter group belongs to, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8051
I2C TFmini Plus lidar can now be powered down above the RNGFNDx_PWRRNG height above terrain, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8055
ARSPD_TYPE = 20 allows a LUA script to provide the airspeed or differential pressure, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8057
Multiple MAVLink rangefinders facing the same direction can be told apart by setting RNGFNDx_ADDR to the DISTANCE_SENSOR id each should accept, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8072
PPP gateway ethernet adapters (BotBlox DroneNet, CubeNode ETH) have a new tabbed web interface whose parameter editor allows the adapter to be configured from a browser, without a CAN connection to it, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8081
Crash dumps are now saved as a full memory dump to APM/CrashDump.DAT on the microSD card on most autopilots with one, instead of a partial dump in internal flash; delete the file to clear the CrashDump pre-arm failure, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8097
MAVLink cameras keep their own identity when relayed to ground stations, new CAMx_COMPID, MNTx_ATT_RATE and MNTx_TARG_RATE parameters, MAVx_OPTIONS “Unicast” option for camera/gimbal links, and camera/gimbal IDs 7-255 select MAVLink devices by component ID, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8099
SITL can be built as WebAssembly (
--board wasm) to run a simulated vehicle in a web browser or Node.js, with serial ports bridged to JavaScript, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8103Rangefinder engagement distance, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/7559
QRTL approach now descends gradually to RTL_ALTITUDE instead of stepping down to it, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8031
Weathervaning is now active while navigating between VTOL waypoints in AUTO, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8058
Q_RTL_PAUSE_TIME pauses above the landing point before the final VTOL descent, defaulting to 5s on tailsitters, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8059
Automatic flap speed schedule reworked: target airspeed is used without needing an airspeed sensor, with AIRSPEED_CRUISE as the fallback, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8060
ALT_OFFSET now always resets to zero at boot, and new FLIGHT_OPTIONS bit 17 also resets it on flight mode and AUTO navigation command changes, see https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/pull/8094
