The auto-tune feature of voxl2 is not working

[Tamas Pal 0]

I am currently using voxl-px4_1.4.28-202209292009_arm64.deb on voxl2 with voxl2 IO board and 40 amps readytosky esc. It seems like the autotune feature is not working for voxl2. How to fix it?

Autotune is a feature of PX4 1.13. We're currently on a fork of PX4 1.12 on VOXL 2. Once we upgrade, that feature should become available.

We are working hard to get the VOXL 2 PX4 fully mainlined, it's still 3 to 6 months away though as it is a lot of work.

@Chad-Sweet Any update on this, as it has been about five months since then?

[Chad Sweet]

No, no update as of now. We are still probably 2 months away from having a stable 1.14 release

@Chad-Sweet I am also curious about the autotune feature and when it will be released. Any updates on this at this time?

[Chad Sweet]

We do not manage the autotune feature and do not use it. That feature is a part of PX4 1.14, which we are still working on and hoping to target our release closely after the stable PX4 1.14 release.

I would like to add that the auto-tune feature is not a turn-key fix all feature. you still need to tune filters, and do a bit of tuning yourself before initiating auto-tune.
auto-tune gets you the last 20% of tuning, you have to do 80%. and even after that it still might need some adjusting based on how you want your UAV to fly
