UAVCAN Motor Parameters

NameDescriptionMin > Max (Incr.)DefaultUnits
ctl_bw (INT32)

Speed controller bandwidth

Comment: Speed controller bandwidth, in Hz. Higher values result in faster speed and current rise times, but may result in overshoot and higher current consumption. For fixed-wing aircraft, this value should be less than 50 Hz; for multirotors, values up to 100 Hz may provide improvements in responsiveness.

10 > 250 75 Hz
ctl_dir (INT32)

EKF2_MAG_TYPE (INT32)

Type of magnetometer fusion

Comment: Integer controlling the type of magnetometer fusion used - magnetic heading or 3-component vector. 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. If no external source of yaw is available, it is possible to use post-takeoff horizontal movement combined with GPS velocity measurements to align the yaw angle with the timer required (depending on the amount of movement and GPS data quality). Other external sources of yaw may be used if selected via the EKF2_AID_MASK parameter.

EKF2_RNG_AID (INT32)

Range sensor aid

Comment: If this parameter is enabled then the estimator will make use of the range finder measurements to estimate it's height even if range sensor is not the primary height source. 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.

FW_LND_EARLYCFG (INT32)

Early landing configuration deployment

Comment: 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.

FW_LND_THRTC_SC (FLOAT)

Throttle time constant factor for landing

Comment: Set this parameter to less than 1.0 to make the TECS throttle loop react faster during landing than during normal flight (i.e. giving efficiency and low motor wear at high altitudes but control accuracy during landing). During landing, the TECS throttle time constant (FW_T_THRO_CONST) is multiplied by this value.

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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.

Comment: The controller will increase the commanded airspeed to maintain this minimum groundspeed to the next waypoint.

0.0 > 40 (0.5) 5.0 m/s
FW_T_CLMB_MAX (FLOAT)

Maximum climb rate

Comment: 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.

Comment: 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 (0.05) 0.1
FW_T_PTCH_DAMP (FLOAT)

Pitch damping factor

Comment: 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 (0.1) 0.0
FW_T_RLL2THR (FLOAT)

Roll -> Throttle feedforward

Comment: 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 (0.5) 15.0
FW_T_SINK_MAX (FLOAT)

Maximum descent rate

Comment: 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 (0.5) 5.0 m/s
FW_T_SINK_MIN (FLOAT)

Minimum descent rate

Comment: 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 (0.5) 2.0 m/s
FW_T_SPDWEIGHT (FLOAT)

Speed <--> Altitude priority

Comment: 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 (1.0) 1.0
FW_T_SPD_OMEGA (FLOAT)

Complementary filter "omega" parameter for speed

Comment: 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.

FW_T_VERT_ACC (FLOAT)

Maximum vertical acceleration

Comment: This is the maximum vertical acceleration (in m/s/s) either up or down that the controller will use to correct speed or height errors. The default value of 7 m/s/s (equivalent to +- 0.7 g) allows for reasonably aggressive pitch changes if required to recover from under-speed conditions.

MC_AIRMODE (INT32)

Multicopter air-mode

Comment: The air-mode enables the mixer to increase the total thrust of the multirotor in order to keep attitude and rate control even at low and high throttle. This function should be disabled during tuning as it will help the controller to diverge if the closed-loop is unstable (i.e. the vehicle is not tuned yet). Enabling air-mode for yaw requires the use of an arming switch.

Yaw weight

Comment: A fraction [0,1] deprioritizing yaw compared to roll and pitch in non-linear attitude control. Deprioritizing yaw is necessary because multicopters have much less control authority in yaw compared to the other axes and it makes sense because yaw is not critical for stable hovering or 3D navigation. For yaw control tuning use MC_YAW_P. This ratio has no inpact on the yaw gain.

MPC_ALT_MODE (INT32)

Altitude control mode

Comment: Set to 0 to control height relative to the earth frame origin. 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.

Comment: Limit the maximum jerk of the vehicle (how fast the acceleration can change). A lower value leads to smoother vehicle motions, but it also limits its agility.

1.0 > 80.0 (1) 4.0 m/s^3
MPC_JERK_MAX (FLOAT)

Maximum jerk limit

Comment: Limit the maximum jerk of the vehicle (how fast the acceleration can change). 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 1 or 3.

0.5 > 500.0 (1) 8.0 m/s^3
MPC_JERK_MIN (FLOAT)

Velocity-based jerk limit

Comment: 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 1.

0 > 30.0 (1) 8.0 m/s^3
MPC_LAND_ALT1 (FLOAT)

Comment: Below this altitude: - descending velocity gets limited to a value between "MPC_Z_VEL_MAX" and "MPC_LAND_SPEED" - horizontal velocity gets limited to a value between "MPC_VEL_MANUAL" and "MPC_LAND_VEL_XY" for a smooth descent and landing experience. Value needs to be higher than "MPC_LAND_ALT2"

Comment: The supported sub-modes are: 0 Simple position control where sticks map directly to velocity setpoints without smoothing. Useful for velocity control tuning. 1 Smooth position control with maximum acceleration and jerk limits based on slew-rates. 3 Smooth position control with maximum acceleration and jerk limits based on jerk optimized trajectory generator (different algorithm than 1).

Values:
  • 0: Simple position control
  • 1: Smooth position control
  • 3: Smooth position control (Jerk optimized)
3
MPC_SPOOLUP_TIME (FLOAT)

Enforced delay between arming and takeoff

Comment: 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 1.0 s
MPC_THR_CURVE (INT32)

Thrust curve in Manual Mode

Comment: 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.

Values:
  • 0: Rescale to hover thrust
  • 1: No Rescale
0
MPC_THR_HOVER (FLOAT)

Hover thrust

Comment: 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.

SD Logging

NameDescriptionMin > Max (Incr.)DefaultUnits
SDLOG_BOOT_BAT (INT32)

Battery-only Logging

Comment: When enabled, logging will not start from boot if battery power is not detected (e.g. powered via USB on a test bench). This prevents extraneous flight logs from being created during bench testing. Note that this only applies to log-from-boot modes. This has no effect on arm-based modes.

Disabled (0)
SDLOG_DIRS_MAX (INT32)

Maximum number of log directories to keep

Comment: If there are more log directories than this value, the system will delete the oldest directories during startup. 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.

Reboot required: true

0 > 1000 0
SDLOG_MISSION (INT32)

Mission Log

Comment: 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).

Values:
  • 0: Disabled
  • 1: All mission messages
  • 2: Geotagging messages

Reboot required: true

SDLOG_PROFILE (INT32)

Logging topic profile (integer bitmask)

Comment: 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. Set bits true to enable: 0 : Default set (used for general log analysis) 1 : Full rate estimator (EKF2) replay topics 2 : Topics for thermal calibration (high rate raw IMU and Baro sensor data) 3 : Topics for system identification (high rate actuator control and IMU data) 4 : Full rates for analysis of fast maneuvers (RC, attitude, rates and actuators) 5 : Debugging topics (debug_*.msg topics, for custom code) 6 : Topics for sensor comparison (low rate raw IMU, Baro and Magnetomer data) 7 : Topics for computer vision and collision avoidance 8 : Raw FIFO high-rate IMU (Gyro) 9 : Raw FIFO high-rate IMU (Accel)

Bitmask:
  • 0: Default set (general log analysis)
  • 1: Estimator replay (EKF2)
  • 2: Thermal calibration
  • 3: System identification
  • 4: High rate
  • 5: Debug

VT_FWD_THRUST_EN (INT32)

Enable/disable usage of fixed-wing actuators in hover to generate forward force (instead of pitching down). This technique can be used to avoid the plane having to pitch down in order to move forward. This prevents large, negative lift values being created when facing strong winds. Fixed-wing forward actuators refers to puller/pusher (standard VTOL), or forward-tilt (tiltrotor VTOL). Only active if demaded down pitch is above VT_DWN_PITCH_MAX, and uses VT_FWD_THRUST_SC to get from demanded down pitch to fixed-wing actuation

Values:
  • 0: Disable FW forward actuation in hover.
  • 1: Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes (except LANDING).
  • 2: Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT1.
  • 3: Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes if above MPC_LAND_ALT2.
  • 4: Enable FW forward actuation in hover in altitude, position and auto modes.
