Failsafe Landing bug in PX4 1.14?
-
@hmlow This seems like a fundamental bug in PX4 when dealing with EV modes so we're working with the PX4 developers to figure out who and how this will be addressed.
-
@Eric-Katzfey thanks for the update. At least the issue has been identified. Looking forward to some fixes in the near future..
-
@Eric-Katzfey hi. Any progress on this?
Thanks -
@hmlow Not really. I don't think anyone in the px4 community has time to assist on this so it's going to be up to ModalAI to fix it. Unfortunately, I can't offer any estimate on when we will be able to resolve this yet.
-
@hmlow I have been able to recreate the issue in HITL with the Gazebo simulator so that should help with testing and investigation on this issue.
-
@Eric-Katzfey that's good. Looking forward to the fix

@hmlow This fixes it in HITL:

@hmlow But that probably only works for VIO mode. Not sure what it would do in GPS mode. So it isn't a fix that will be acceptable for general use. So it still needs more work but that is the heart of the issue.

@Eric-Katzfey Has any testing been done with this fix in GPS mode?
-
@swickliff No, it hasn't. Supposedly all of this is fixed in latest mainline but we haven't tested it. But we do have a mainline build available to try: http://voxl-packages.modalai.com/dists/qrb5165/dev/binary-arm64/voxl-mainline-px4_1.16.0-1.0.0-202502271326_arm64.deb
