Todo:
- Use GPS HDOP
The HDOP sentence will give us an indication of the precision of our GPS lock. Sometimes a lock with 6 satellites can give more precise readings than a lock with 8 sats! The firmware should be modified to wait for a certain HDOP precision instead of waiting for a GPS lock with more than 5 satellites. See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=568#p2346
- Heartbeat from UAV to GCS
This would allow a command to return to home when the datalink is lost.
- Rudder input in autopilot
For better tracking in survey-mode.
- Relative coordinates
The relative coordinates are changed to absolute ones on GPS lock. This can be annoying if a user burn the navigation commands to flash after a lock. Should be changed.
Done:
- Enable WAAS in GPS config
See viewtopic.php?f=3&t=568#p2346
- Configure a "neutral" pitch parameter
Useful when the mounted module does not really have a 0 degree pitch angle.
- Different mounting options for the board
Now you can mount the GP2 at any 90° angle. Very useful for some planes!
- Maximum distance
A command has been implemented "SetMaximumRange". When this range has been exceeded, the autopilot returns to Standby or another preconfigured line.
- Cruise throttle
In high winds, the cruise throttle should be set higher than in low winds. A navigation command to increase this cruise throttle on request is desired. See viewtopic.php?f=4&t=578
