Community Q&A

  • Cristian Had his drone crashing while a colleague hovered it. It dropped straight down. https://logs.px4.io/plot_app?log=2e72acd2-72f7-4e71-97db-4793678420c2 It can be seen from the log it can be seen that one UAVCAN ESC (Zubx Myxa) failed to follow the command mid-air. It saturates to full output command when it stops actuating and at the same time the reported rpm go to zero. So the drone lost altitude quickly. ICM20689 is the secondary with 16g and the others have more range.

  • Cristian is also seeing regular accel clipping reported on his secondary accelerometer on the Nora board. Could it be an accelerometer range configuration maybe even just for the clipping detection?

  • Vatsal Joshi wants to port PX4 to the Raspberry pi pico. He has NuttX working but doesn’t know everything else that’s needed for board support. He’ll join Slack to follow up on his questions. https://slack.px4.io/ will get fixed very soon.

Release

The only blocker for 1.12 is the PWM configuration
