Airspeed sensor missing in Sensor tab despite being configured in sensors tab #10662

Open Ryanf55 opened 1 year ago

Ryanf55 commented 1 year ago

Expected Behavior

All of the sensors I configure in the Sensors tab show up in the Sensors box on "Vehicle Setup->Summary" panel. I would expect a Airspeed Sensor(s): UAVCAN (can0) of some sort to show up for the airspeed sensor 0 on UAVCAN that I had just set up.

Current Behavior

Airspeed sensor is missing from the list.

Steps to Reproduce:

Please provide an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce the current behavior

  1. Install latest QGroundControl
  2. Install airspeed sensor in an aircraft
  3. Configure and enable the airspeed sensor
  4. View the vehicle setup summary and the airspeed sensor is not listed

Note

I am happy to contribute this feature if the maintainers can approve this addition to the UI, and point me in the right direction on how to approach the implementation. I have two airspeed sensors to test the feature on.

Parameters for ArduPilot and PX4 are different for airspeed sensors.

From david saastre: 

Can you please double check in mavlink inspector in which message you airspeed information is coming from? As far as I remember airspeed used to work fine in QGC. Please identify the mavlink message and we can keep pulling that string from there!

Result: 

Looks like QGC is VFR_HUD.airspeed. If I unplug the sensor, it then stays at 0. The airspeed value shows up  in QGC on the home page on the bottom status bar. But, it's not listed as a sensor. I can calibrate it though.

David thinks it's just not implemented.
