Loss of position failsafe activation delay This sets number of seconds that the position checks need to be failed before the failsafe will activate. The default value has been optimised for rotary wing applications. For fixed wing applications, a larger value between 5 and 10 should be used. 1 100 sec true Horizontal position error threshold This is the horizontal position error (EPH) threshold that will trigger a failsafe.

The default value has been optimised for rotary wing applications. For fixed wing applications a value of 0 should be used. true Loss of position probation delay at takeoff The probation delay is the number of seconds that the EKF innovation checks need to pass for the position to be declared good after it has been declared bad. The probation delay will be reset to this parameter value when takeoff is detected. After takeoff, if position checks are passing, the probation delay will reduce by one second for every lapsed second of valid position down to a minimum of 1 second. If position checks are failing, the probation delay will increase by COM_POS_FS_GAIN seconds for every lapsed second up to a maximum of 100 seconds.

Larger values make the check less sensitive, smaller values make it more sensitive. Start with a value of 1.0 when tuning. When estimator_status.tas_test_ratio is > 1.0 it indicates the inconsistency between predicted and measured airspeed is large enough to cause the navigation EKF to reject airspeed measurements. The time required to detect a fault when the threshold is exceeded depends on the size of the exceedance and is controlled by the COM_TAS_FS_INTEG parameter. The subsequent failsafe response is controlled by the COM_ASPD_FS_ACT parameter. 0.5 3.0 Airspeed failsafe consistency delay (Experimental) This sets the time integral of airspeed test ratio exceedance above COM_TAS_FS_INNOV required to trigger a failsafe. For example if COM_TAS_FS_INNOV is 100 and estimator_status.tas_test_ratio is 2.0, then the exceedance is 1.0 and the integral will rise at a rate of 1.0/second. A negative value disables the check. Larger positive values make the check less sensitive, smaller positive values make it more sensitive. The failsafe response is controlled by the COM_ASPD_FS_ACT parameter. 30.0 s Airspeed failsafe stop delay (Experimental) Delay before stopping use of airspeed sensor if checks indicate sensor is bad. The failsafe response is controlled by the COM_ASPD_FS_ACT parameter. 1 10 s Airspeed failsafe start delay (Experimental) Delay before switching back to using airspeed sensor if checks indicate sensor is good. The failsafe response is controlled by the COM_ASPD_FS_ACT parameter. 10 1000 s Horizontal velocity error threshold This is the horizontal velocity error (EVH) threshold that will trigger a failsafe.

The fuson of magnetomer data as a three component vector enables vehicle body fixed hard iron errors to be learned, but requires a stable earth field. If set to 'Automatic' magnetic heading fusion is used when on-ground and 3-axis magnetic field fusion in-flight with fallback to magnetic heading fusion if there is insufficient motion to make yaw or magnetic field states observable. If set to 'Magnetic heading' magnetic heading fusion is used at all times If set to '3-axis' 3-axis field fusion is used at all times. If set to 'VTOL custom' the behaviour is the same as 'Automatic', but if fusing airspeed, magnetometer fusion is only allowed to modify the magnetic field states. This can be used by VTOL platforms with large magnetic field disturbances to prevent incorrect bias states being learned during forward flight operation which can adversely affect estimation accuracy after transition to hovering flight. If set to 'MC custom' the behaviour is the same as 'Automatic, but if there are no earth frame position or velocity observations being used, the magnetometer will not be used. This enables vehicles to operate with no GPS in environments where the magnetic field cannot be used to provide a heading reference. Prior to flight, the yaw angle is assumed to be constant if movement tests controlled by the EKF2_MOVE_TEST parameter indicate that the vehicle is static. This allows the vehicle to be placed on the ground to learn the yaw gyro bias prior to flight. If set to 'None' the magnetometer will not be used under any circumstance. Other sources of yaw may be used if selected via the EKF2_AID_MASK parameter. true Automatic Magnetic heading 3-axis VTOL customn MC custom None Yaw rate threshold used by automatic selection of magnetometer fusion method. This parameter is used when the magnetometer fusion method is set automatically (EKF2_MAG_TYPE = 0).

This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a negative wind relative velocity along the X body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during backwards flight, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Static pressure position error coefficient for the positive X axis This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a positive wind relative velocity along the X body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during forward flight, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Pressure position error coefficient for the negative Y axis. This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a wind relative velocity along the negative Y (LH) body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during sideways flight to the left, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Pressure position error coefficient for the positive Y axis. This is the ratio of static pressure error to dynamic pressure generated by a wind relative velocity along the positive Y (RH) body axis. If the baro height estimate rises during sideways flight to the right, then this will be a negative number -0.5 0.5 2 Static pressure position error coefficient for the Z axis.

It will only do so if conditions for range measurement fusion are met. This enables the range finder to be used during low speed and low altitude operation, eg takeoff and landing, where baro interference from rotor wash is excessive and can corrupt EKF state estimates. It is intended to be used where a vertical takeoff and landing is performed, and horizontal flight does not occur until above EKF2_RNG_A_HMAX. If vehicle motion causes repeated switching between the primary height sensor and range finder, an offset in the local position origin can accumulate. Also range finder measurements are less reliable and can experience unexpected errors. For these reasons, if accurate control of height relative to ground is required, it is recommended to use the MPC_ALT_MODE parameter instead, unless baro errors are severe enough to cause problems with landing and takeoff. Range aid disabled Range aid enabled Maximum absolute altitude (height above ground level) allowed for range aid mode If the vehicle absolute altitude exceeds this value then the estimator will not fuse range measurements to estimate it's height. This only applies when range aid mode is activated (EKF2_RNG_AID = enabled). 1.0 10.0 Gate size used for innovation consistency checks for range aid fusion A lower value means HAGL needs to be more stable in order to use range finder for height estimation in range aid mode 0.1 5.0 SD Maximum horizontal velocity allowed for range aid mode If the vehicle horizontal speed exceeds this value then the estimator will not fuse range measurements to estimate it's height.

The fixed wing should constantly behave as if it was fully charged with reduced max thrust at lower battery percentages. i.e. if cruise speed is at 0.5 throttle at 100% battery, it will still be 0.5 at 60% battery.

FW_AIRSPD_MIN * FW_LND_AIRSPD_SC 1.0 1.5 norm 2 0.01 Landing slope angle 1.0 15.0 deg 1 0.5 Early landing configuration deployment When disabled, the landing configuration (flaps, landing airspeed, etc.) is only activated on the final approach to landing. When enabled, it is already activated when entering the final loiter-down (loiter-to-alt) waypoint before the landing approach. This shifts the (often large) altitude and airspeed errors caused by the configuration change away from the ground such that these are not so critical. It also gives the controller enough time to adapt to the new configuration such that the landing approach starts with a cleaner initial state. Landing flare altitude (relative to landing altitude) 0.0 25.0 m 1 0.5 Flare, maximum pitch Maximum pitch during flare, a positive sign means nose up Applied once FW_LND_FLALT is reached 0 45.0 deg 1 0.5 Flare, minimum pitch Minimum pitch during flare, a positive sign means nose up Applied once FW_LND_FLALT is reached 0 15.0 deg 1 0.5 Landing heading hold horizontal distance.

During landing, the TECS throttle time constant (FW_T_THRO_CONST) is multiplied by this value. 0.2 1.0 0.1 Landing throttle limit altitude (relative landing altitude) Default of -1.0 lets the system default to applying throttle limiting at 2/3 of the flare altitude. -1.0 30.0 m 1 0.5 Use terrain estimate during landing This is turned off by default and a waypoint or return altitude is normally used (or sea level for an arbitrary land position). Positive pitch limit The maximum positive pitch the controller will output. 0.0 60.0 deg 1 0.5 Negative pitch limit The minimum negative pitch the controller will output. -60.0 0.0 deg 1 0.5 Controller roll limit The maximum roll the controller will output. 35.0 65.0 deg 1 0.5 Scale throttle by pressure change Automatically adjust throttle to account for decreased air density at higher altitudes. Start with a scale factor of 1.0 and adjust for different propulsion systems. When flying without airspeed sensor this will help to keep a constant performance over large altitude ranges. The default value of 0 will disable scaling. 0.0 10.0 1 0.1 Cruise throttle This is the throttle setting required to achieve the desired cruise speed. Most airframes have a value of 0.5-0.7. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Idle throttle This is the minimum throttle while on the ground For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set above desired idle rpm. 0.0 0.4 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit during landing below throttle limit altitude During the flare of the autonomous landing process, this value will be set as throttle limit when the aircraft altitude is below FW_LND_TLALT. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit max This is the maximum throttle % that can be used by the controller. For overpowered aircraft, this should be reduced to a value that provides sufficient thrust to climb at the maximum pitch angle PTCH_MAX. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle limit min This is the minimum throttle % that can be used by the controller. For electric aircraft this will normally be set to zero, but can be set to a small non-zero value if a folding prop is fitted to prevent the prop from folding and unfolding repeatedly in-flight or to provide some aerodynamic drag from a turning prop to improve the descent rate. For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set for desired idle rpm. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Throttle max slew rate Maximum slew rate for the commanded throttle 0.0 1.0 Launch detection Catapult accelerometer threshold LAUN_CAT_A for LAUN_CAT_T serves as threshold to trigger launch detection. 0 m/s/s 1 0.5 Motor delay Delay between starting attitude control and powering up the throttle (giving throttle control to the controller) Before this timespan is up the throttle will be set to FW_THR_IDLE, set to 0 to deactivate 0.0 10.0 s 1 0.5 Maximum pitch before the throttle is powered up (during motor delay phase) This is an extra limit for the maximum pitch which is imposed in the phase before the throttle turns on. This allows to limit the maximum pitch angle during a bungee launch (make the launch less steep). 0.0 45.0 deg 1 0.5 Catapult time threshold LAUN_CAT_A for LAUN_CAT_T serves as threshold to trigger launch detection. 0.0 5.0 s 2 0.05 Maximum Airspeed If the airspeed is above this value, the TECS controller will try to decrease airspeed more aggressively. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Minimum Airspeed If the airspeed falls below this value, the TECS controller will try to increase airspeed more aggressively. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Cruise Airspeed The fixed wing controller tries to fly at this airspeed. 0.0 40 m/s 1 0.5 Maximum climb rate This is the best climb rate that the aircraft can achieve with the throttle set to THR_MAX and the airspeed set to the default value. For electric aircraft make sure this number can be achieved towards the end of flight when the battery voltage has reduced. The setting of this parameter can be checked by commanding a positive altitude change of 100m in loiter, RTL or guided mode. If the throttle required to climb is close to THR_MAX and the aircraft is maintaining airspeed, then this parameter is set correctly. If the airspeed starts to reduce, then the parameter is set to high, and if the throttle demand required to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than FW_THR_MAX, then either FW_T_CLMB_MAX should be increased or FW_THR_MAX reduced. 1.0 15.0 m/s 1 0.5 Complementary filter "omega" parameter for height This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary filter used to fuse vertical acceleration and barometric height to obtain an estimate of height rate and height. Increasing this frequency weights the solution more towards use of the barometer, whilst reducing it weights the solution more towards use of the accelerometer data. 1.0 10.0 rad/s 1 0.5 Height rate feed forward 0.0 1.0 2 0.05 Height rate proportional factor 0.0 1.0 2 0.05 Integrator gain This is the integrator gain on the control loop. Increasing this gain increases the speed at which speed and height offsets are trimmed out, but reduces damping and increases overshoot. Set this value to zero to completely disable all integrator action. 0.0 2.0 2 0.05 Pitch damping factor This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in height. The default value of 0.0 will work well provided the pitch to servo controller has been tuned properly. 0.0 2.0 1 0.1 Roll -> Throttle feedforward Increasing this gain turn increases the amount of throttle that will be used to compensate for the additional drag created by turning. Ideally this should be set to approximately 10 x the extra sink rate in m/s created by a 45 degree bank turn. Increase this gain if the aircraft initially loses energy in turns and reduce if the aircraft initially gains energy in turns. Efficient high aspect-ratio aircraft (eg powered sailplanes) can use a lower value, whereas inefficient low aspect-ratio models (eg delta wings) can use a higher value. 0.0 20.0 1 0.5 Maximum descent rate This sets the maximum descent rate that the controller will use. If this value is too large, the aircraft can over-speed on descent. This should be set to a value that can be achieved without exceeding the lower pitch angle limit and without over-speeding the aircraft. 1.0 15.0 m/s 1 0.5 Minimum descent rate This is the sink rate of the aircraft with the throttle set to THR_MIN and flown at the same airspeed as used to measure FW_T_CLMB_MAX. 1.0 5.0 m/s 1 0.5 Speed <--> Altitude priority This parameter adjusts the amount of weighting that the pitch control applies to speed vs height errors. Setting it to 0.0 will cause the pitch control to control height and ignore speed errors. This will normally improve height accuracy but give larger airspeed errors. Setting it to 2.0 will cause the pitch control loop to control speed and ignore height errors. This will normally reduce airspeed errors, but give larger height errors. The default value of 1.0 allows the pitch control to simultaneously control height and speed. Note to Glider Pilots - set this parameter to 2.0 (The glider will adjust its pitch angle to maintain airspeed, ignoring changes in height). 0.0 2.0 1 1.0 Complementary filter "omega" parameter for speed This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary filter used to fuse longitudinal acceleration and airspeed to obtain an improved airspeed estimate. Increasing this frequency weights the solution more towards use of the airspeed sensor, whilst reducing it weights the solution more towards use of the accelerometer data. 1.0 10.0 rad/s 1 0.5 Speed rate P factor 0.0 2.0 2 0.01 TECS Throttle time constant This is the time constant of the TECS throttle control algorithm (in seconds).

This origin may move up and down in flight due to sensor drift. Set to 1 to control height relative to estimated distance to ground. The vehicle will move up and down with terrain height variation. Requires a distance to ground sensor. The height controller will revert to using height above origin if the distance to ground estimate becomes invalid as indicated by the local_position.distance_bottom_valid message being false. Set to 2 to control height relative to ground (requires a distance sensor) when stationary and relative to earth frame origin when moving horizontally. The speed threshold is controlled by the MPC_HOLD_MAX_XY parameter. 0 2 Altitude following Terrain following Terrain hold Auto sub-mode Default line tracking Jerk-limited trajectory Minimum distance the vehicle should keep to all obstacles Only used in Position mode. Collision avoidace is disabled by setting this parameter to a negative value -1 15 meters Cruise speed when angle prev-current/current-next setpoint is 90 degrees.

A lower value leads to smoother vehicle motions, but it also limits its agility (how fast it can change directions or break). Setting this to the maximum value essentially disables the limit. Note: this is only used when MPC_POS_MODE is set to a smoothing mode. 0.5 500.0 m/s/s/s 2 1 Velocity-based jerk limit If this is not zero, a velocity-based maximum jerk limit is used: the applied jerk limit linearly increases with the vehicle's velocity between MPC_JERK_MIN (zero velocity) and MPC_JERK_MAX (maximum velocity). This means that the vehicle's motions are smooth for low velocities, but still allows fast direction changes or breaking at higher velocities. Set this to zero to use a fixed maximum jerk limit (MPC_JERK_MAX). Note: this is only used when MPC_POS_MODE is set to a smoothing mode. 0 30.0 m/s/s/s 2 1 Altitude for 1. step of slow landing (descend) Below this altitude descending velocity gets limited to a value between "MPC_Z_VEL_MAX" and "MPC_LAND_SPEED" to enable a smooth descent experience Value needs to be higher than "MPC_LAND_ALT2" 0 122 m 1 Altitude for 2. step of slow landing (landing) Below this altitude descending velocity gets limited to "MPC_LAND_SPEED" Value needs to be lower than "MPC_LAND_ALT1" 0 122 m 1 Landing descend rate 0.6 m/s 1 Minimum manual thrust Minimum vertical thrust. It's recommended to set it > 0 to avoid free fall with zero thrust. With MC_AIRMODE set to 1, this can safely be set to 0. 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Maximal tilt angle in manual or altitude mode 0.0 90.0 deg 1 Max manual yaw rate 0.0 400 deg/s 1 Manual-Position control sub-mode The supported sub-modes are: 0 Default position control where sticks map to position/velocity directly. Maximum speeds is MPC_VEL_MANUAL. 1 Smooth position control where setpoints are adjusted based on acceleration limits and jerk limits. 2 Sport mode that is the same Default position control but with velocity limits set to the maximum allowed speeds (MPC_XY_VEL_MAX) 3 Smooth position control with maximum acceleration and jerk limits (different algorithm than 1). Default position control Smooth position control Sport position control Smooth position control (Velocity) Enforced delay between arming and takeoff For altitude controlled modes the time from arming the motors until a takeoff is possible gets forced to be at least MPC_SPOOLUP_TIME seconds to ensure the motors and propellers can sppol up and reach idle speed before getting commanded to spin faster. This delay is particularly useful for vehicles with slow motor spin-up e.g. because of large propellers. 0 10 s Thrust curve in Manual Mode This parameter defines how the throttle stick input is mapped to commanded thrust in Manual/Stabilized flight mode. In case the default is used ('Rescale to hover thrust'), the stick input is linearly rescaled, such that a centered stick corresponds to the hover throttle (see MPC_THR_HOVER). Select 'No Rescale' to directly map the stick 1:1 to the output. This can be useful in case the hover thrust is very low and the default would lead to too much distortion (e.g. if hover thrust is set to 20%, 80% of the upper thrust range is squeezed into the upper half of the stick range). Note: in case MPC_THR_HOVER is set to 50%, the modes 0 and 1 are the same. Rescale to hover thrust No Rescale Hover thrust Vertical thrust required to hover. This value is mapped to center stick for manual throttle control. With this value set to the thrust required to hover, transition from manual to Altitude or Position mode while hovering will occur with the throttle stick near center, which is then interpreted as (near) zero demand for vertical speed. This parameter is also important for the landing detection to work correctly. 0.1 0.8 norm 2 0.01 Maximum thrust in auto thrust control Limit max allowed thrust 0.0 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Minimum thrust in auto thrust control It's recommended to set it > 0 to avoid free fall with zero thrust. 0.05 1.0 norm 2 0.01 Maximum tilt angle in air Limits maximum tilt in AUTO and POSCTRL modes during flight. 20.0 180.0 deg 1 Maximum tilt during landing Limits maximum tilt angle on landing. 10.0 90.0 deg 1 Position control smooth takeoff ramp time constant Increasing this value will make automatic and manual takeoff slower.

In addition, the system will delete old logs if there is not enough free space left. The minimum amount is 300 MB. If this is set to 0, old directories will only be removed if the free space falls below the minimum. Note: this does not apply to mission log files. 0 1000 true Mission Log If enabled, a small additional "mission" log file will be written to the SD card. The log contains just those messages that are useful for tasks like generating flight statistics and geotagging. The different modes can be used to further reduce the logged data (and thus the log file size). For example, choose geotagging mode to only log data required for geotagging. Note that the normal/full log is still created, and contains all the data in the mission log (and more). true Disabled All mission messages Geotagging messages Logging Mode Determines when to start and stop logging. By default, logging is started when arming the system, and stopped when disarming. true disabled when armed until disarm (default) from boot until disarm from boot until shutdown Logging topic profile (integer bitmask) This integer bitmask controls the set and rates of logged topics. The default allows for general log analysis and estimator replay, while keeping the log file size reasonably small. Enabling multiple sets leads to higher bandwidth requirements and larger log files.
