|
The reverse thrust landing is particulary exciting as that adds a |
|
|
|
|
whole new range of possibilities for landing in restricted areas. Many |
|
|
|
|
thanks to Tom for the great work on getting this done. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The uavcan change to the new protocol has been a long time coming, and |
|
|
|
|
I'd like to thank Holger for both his great work on this and his |
|
|
|
|
patience given how long it has taken to be in a release. This adds |
|
|
|
|
support for automatic canbus node assignment which makes setup much |
|
|
|
|
easier, and also supports the latest versions of the Zubax canbus GPS. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My apologies if your favourite feature didn't make it into this |
|
|
|
|
release! There are a lot more changes pending but we needed to call a |
|
|
|
|
halt for the release eventually. This release has had a lot of flight |
|
|
|
|
testing and I'm confident it will be a great release. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Happy flying! |
