CxPilot-7.1.0-beta1

Release 7.1.0-beta1 3rd January 2025

Ottano Changes:

• Safety is now engaged on boot. This was a regression from CxPilot-5.2.0

Fleetwide Changes:

• Moved wind speed warning to GCS. Disabled aircraft-generated wind speed warnings.

Built-in-Test (CX_BIT) Changes:

• Added a prearm check for sat count.
  • Minimum 18 satellites
  • Maximum difference of 8 satellites between GPS1 and GPS2
• Fixed false "RPM Drop" alerts on a second takeoff
• Removed unnecessary "RPM nil" and "Servo Out nil" messages.
• Removed unnecessary alerts prior to disengaging the safety switch.

Known Issues:

• "Loiter Turns" commands with 0 turns are sometimes skipped before checking they have been
  reached.
• Ottano's reported consumed fuel volume from the EFI is under-reporting. We are still calibrating
  this.

Technical:

• Fixed notch filter Q factor calculation. Additional protection against notch-filter issues
• Added ESC telemetry simulation
• Added Engine simulation
• Added Ottano headless simulator
• Removed LOG_FILE_DSRMROT. This feature cannot be used alongside EKF replay logging
• Fixed git hash for PR CI artifacts
• Fixed log drops causing early boot messages to be lost
• Fixed race condition in DroneCAN debug logging. This likely fixed the rare PIQC crash dump issue
• Disabled DroneCAN debug logging. This does not actually do anything useful for us anyway
• Assigned one AP servo index to each physical servo. Solves the servo telemetry log clashes
• Fixed cx_led_driver sending its startup message as EMERGENCY (i.e., no longer shows on HUD)
• Added SITL safety switch engaged at boot like the real aircraft
• Added Carbonix SITL autotests. Currently only tests CX_BIT. More tests will be added later
• Improved CI packaging/uploading
