After nearly a +year of steady development, testing, and improvement, ArduSub has become one +of the most capable ROV control systems available. + +Important Note for ArduSub-3.4: Many unused and inapplicable parameters that +ArduSub inherited from ArduCopter have been removed. As a consequence, after +upgrading to V3.4 and later, all of the parameters will be erased, and the +default parameters will be loaded. You should save your parameters before +flashing this firmware. After upgrading the firmware, you can load your saved +parameter file through QGroundControl. When loading your old parameter file +through QGroundControl, you will see many errors about parameters that have +been removed, this is okay. After you load your parameter file, you need to +change the SYSID_SW_MREV parameter to 1 before rebooting in order to prevent +the default parameters from being reloaded. This procedure will only have to +be done when upgrading from firmware version 3.4-dev. Subsequent releases will +keep the same parameter format, so this will only have to be done once. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Sub 3.4-rc2 13-Dec-2016 +Changes from 3.4-rc1: +1) Bug fix on external barometer initialization. BRD_TYPE parameter should + remain set to 2. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Sub 3.4-rc1 11-Dec-2016 +Notes: +- Due to parameter reorganization, all parameters will be overwritten when updating +- Must be used with QGroundControl daily builds or stable version 3.1 (once released) +- Joystick buttons are configured by default +- PX4Firmware sensor drivers have been replaced with in-tree APM drivers. On some +hardware, the barometer driver will sometimes hang until a reboot. If your pressure +sensor is not detected after rebooting, set the BRD_TYPE parameter to 100 and reboot +to fall back to the PX4Firmware driver. Please report back if you experience an issue +with the pressure sensor and the new driver. + +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ArduSub Development Begins Here~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + APM:Copter Release Notes: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Copter 3.3.2 01-Dec-2015 / 3.3.2-rc2 18-Nov-2015
