New Parameter request: "minimum takeoff pitch" #6787

Open Antiheavy opened 7 years ago

Antiheavy commented 7 years ago

The Mavlink message MAV_CMD_NAV_TAKEOFF contains a mission parameter for "Minimum pitch (if airspeed sensor present), desired pitch without sensor".

The optimum value for this is generally specific to the aircraft design. It would make more sense to set this value as a parameter to be used inside the PX4 fixed wing takeoff controller.

As currently implemented in PX4 and QGC this is prone to user error by typing a value into the waypoint parameters that is likely to cause a failed takeoff.

re-opening this. This is still an important need. Fixed Wing takeoff pitch should not be paramaterized in the mission plan, it should be parameterized in the firmware.

still valid until https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/pull/9243 is tested and merged.
