Hardware Support

Common

  • Battery level estimation improvements (PX4-Autopilot#23205).
    • Voltage-based estimation with load compensation now uses a real-time estimate of the internal resistance of the battery to compensate voltage drops under load (with increased current), providing a better capacity estimate than with the raw measured voltage.
    • Thrust-based load compensation has been removed (along with the BATn_V_LOAD_DROP parameters, where n is the battery number).
  • Log Encryption now generates an encrypted log that contains the public-key-encrypted symmetric key that can be used to decrypt it, instead of putting the key into a separate file. This makes log decryption much easier, as there is no need to download or identify a separate key file. (PX4-Autopilot#24024).
