ArduCopterMega doesn't set the Drone Type on MAVBeats #502

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Just check out the content of MAVBeats looking for the drone type;
   The MAVLink function to check it is: mavlink_msg_heartbeat_get_type

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should output "2" which is "MAV_QUADROTOR" defined in mavlink_types.h.
It is outputting "0" which is "MAV_GENERIC".

enum MAV_TYPE
{
    MAV_GENERIC = 0,
    MAV_FIXED_WING = 1,
    MAV_QUADROTOR = 2,
    MAV_COAXIAL = 3,
    MAV_HELICOPTER = 4,
    MAV_GROUND = 5,
    OCU = 6
};

Arduplane sets mavlink_system.type as MAV_FIXED_WING in system.pde.
Arducopter uses mavlink_system.type in many places but it doesn't set in 
nowhere.
