Removing unused parameters

PX4 Autopilot
1

I am removing some modules from the build which have parameters associated with them. I have successfully removed the modules (ex: sensors). If flash my custom build (using QGroundControl); but, then get a series of “Parameters are missing from firmware…” errors. The parameters listed are associated with the module(s) I removed from the build. I search on “PX4 How remove unused parameters”; but, nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions ?

Hey there,
yes, you should try first resetting to firmware defaults on the old firmware.
A couple times even, including reboots.
Then flash the new firmware and repeat the same.
Also make sure to be on the most recent build of QGC and try both release and daily.
Cheers.

EDIT: if QGC is complaining right on connecting you probably removed some module from the build which another is expecting to be present.
