Initial Rover and Boat support (@DzikuVx)
Starting from version 2.5, INAV supports Rovers and Boats (more general: ground and water vehicles without altitude control with yaw steering only. Remark: tanks and vehicles with differential steering are also supported).
The Rover and Boat related features:
- Flight modes: PosHold, AltHold, Cruise, Launch, Loiter Direction Change, Angle, Horizon, FPV Angle Mix, Turn Assist, Airmode are not available on Rover and Boat platforms
- Feature 3D is renamed to Reversible Motors
- Reversible ESCs are now working correctly
- New Heading PID controller used for YAW control on rovers and boats
- Return To Home is working. Rover will disarm at the end of RTH procedure. Bear in mind, it will return in a straight line, no Smart RTH support yet.
- Waypoint Missions are operational. Rover will drive directly int the direction of the Waypoint. At the last Waypoint, it will stop motors instead of loitering.
Reversible ESCs support (@DzikuVx)
Description
New Matrix Filters for Multirotors (@DzikuVx)
The new Matrix Notch filter comes enabled by default on INAV. It's a dynamic notch filter that detects noise frequencies on each individual axis (X, Y and Z) and apply the filters to each axis, resulting in a much better noise handling.
Check out this video to see a detailed explanation of how the Matrix Filter works.
JUMP, HOLD and LAND Waypoint types (@giacomo892, @Jacky2k, @stronnag)
INAV 2.5 supports additional waypoint types, allowing more complex missions to be performed.
- JUMP: Defines a 'jump' to another waypoint, allowing mission loops (backward jump) and forward jumps. The number of jump iterations is also user defined.
- POSHOLD_TIME: Defines the amount of time for which the aircraft will loiter at the waypoint position before proceeding to the next waypoint.
- LAND: Defines a location for landing. This allows INAV to perform one-way missions.
The navigation messages wiki page provides more information and annotated examples.
HUD POI Waypoints markers (@OlivierC-FR)
Shows the next waypoints in the hud. To enable this feature, enter the count of next waypoints in the CLI command:
set osd_hud_wp_disp = 0 to 3
Or on the CMS menu: OSD > HUD > Displayed items > Next waypoints: (from 0 to 3, 0 means disabled)
Then start a WP mission, the next WPs will appear as soon as the mission is loaded in FC memory AND that the aircraft has a valid GPS heading, so it must move if it's not fitted with a magnetometer.
Due to flash / memory restrictions the following functions have been disabled on F3 targets:
- Pitot
- Multirotor braking
