PX4-Autopilot - v1.7.3 Beta Release

Published by LorenzMeier almost 7 years ago

This release is based on the new CI system and configuration and addresses a number of usability issues on vehicle setup:

Cascaded EKF2 error messages so they do not trigger when calibration is missing on the sensors
Disabled some text / speech outputs when disarmed
Ensured manual override is always enabled in fixed wing

PX4-Autopilot - v1.7.2 Stable Release

Published by LorenzMeier almost 7 years ago

Fixes boot issues with some boards that deviate from the reference design.

PX4-Autopilot - v1.7.0 Stable Release

PX4-Autopilot - v1.6.0 Release Candidate 4

Published by LorenzMeier over 7 years ago

Improvements on mag calibration on FMUv4 hardware

PX4-Autopilot - v1.6.0 Release Candidate 3

Published by LorenzMeier over 7 years ago

Improvements on EKF2 stability
General improvements of stability and usability

PX4-Autopilot - v1.6.0 Release RC2

Published by LorenzMeier over 7 years ago

Second release candidate for v1.6.0. Release notes TBC

PX4-Autopilot - 1.6.0 Release RC1

Published by LorenzMeier over 7 years ago

This is a release candidate for the current beta branch, nominally tagged as 1.6.0. We will likely conclude to skip 1.6-1.9 in favour of releasing a 2.0.0 in a couple weeks, so consider this release candidate a reasonably well tested snapshot (hence the RC naming) of the current development and not a preview for the next stable release.

PX4-Autopilot - v1.5.5 Stable Release

Published by LorenzMeier over 7 years ago

Minor bugfixes and improvements over v1.5.4.

PX4-Autopilot - Release v.1.5.4

Published by LorenzMeier almost 8 years ago

Geofence fix and re-labeled from v1.5.3 to v1.5.4 to fix version indication in QGC.

PX4-Autopilot - Release v1.5.2

Published by LorenzMeier almost 8 years ago

Improves the calibration handling on Pixhawk 2.1 boards.

PX4-Autopilot - Release v1.5.1

Published by LorenzMeier almost 8 years ago

This release changes the estimator to EKF2 for all vehicles as it is the most tested in typical outdoor scenarios. Indoor scenarios and general R&D applications continue to benefit greatly from the LPE estimator.

To switch back to the previous default, set SYS_MC_EST_GROUP to 1. To use EKF2, set SYS_MC_EST_GROUP to 2.

Most notable changes / improvements:
