GCS strange PFD configuration
« on: August 17, 2016, 05:45:16 am »
Help, Please!
Fresh compiled GCS (r969) show following PFD (first pic)
Revolution board has been erased, flashed with bu_.. firmware and after that erased and updated (should be clean?).
When connected to GCS original PFD changes to the following (second pic).
It shows waypoint in upper right corner and I used to the battery state display there.

Is it possible to modify somehow? And how to do that?

Thank you in advance.

Nothing wrong.
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/browse/LP-327

The board still with unitialized Attitude because now is waiting a steady board.
Issue can be caused with noisy sensors.

You can increase the AttitudeSettings > BoardSteadyMaxVariance



PFD display and waypoint panel should be fixed after https://bitbucket.org/librepilot/librepilot/pull-requests/294 merged.

Thank you for information. Will wait for fix. As I understand, PFD is not configurable, right?

P.S. I was not worried about attitude etc. These screenshots were from revo FC alone not connected to anything. I was just testing PFD configuration and could not understand what I was doing wrong that it look so strange.

Thanks again.

PFD fix is pushed, you just need to update your branch whit 'git pull' and rebuild.

What do you want to configure inside PFD ?

I just used to see battery state there. I often glance there to check and it is a bit disturbing to see waypoints instead.

Simply remember the next branch is a work in progress.

You can expect bugs or simply a fix not already pushed.

Hi Laurent,
Pulled, compiled - works perfect!
Thank you very much.

BTW. I tested three different quads with different positions of FCs (all revo) relative to quad center of mass and got dramatic difference in noise and flight behavior.
Noise recorded during autotune procedure could differ more than 100 times depending on the position of FC (quad assembly). If you think it may help in further development I can prepare accurate description of all systems, test procedures and results.

Thanks again.

You should report Autotune issues in one of the Autotune threads, thanks for testing.
