Freeze airspeed estimation in autotune mode

Open jaroszmm opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Current Behavior

Currently when flying in autotune mode and performing big manuvers airspeed estimator starts to display weird values and it needs a lot of time after autotune being finished to settle down and report correct estimated airspeed again. This introduces a bit of confusion when for example before autotune your airspeeds are 50kmh and after autotune at the same throttle level they are 80 or 30 kmh...

Desired Behavior

Windspeed estimator (both direction and speed) are paused for the time of autotune and reactivaded when autotune is disabled.

Suggested Solution

Probably some code change ;)

Who does this impact? Who is this for?

Probably airplane users (not sure how much it makes a difference for quad guys

Are you sure your GNSS precision is of high enough quality, and not being influenced by RF noise from onboard hardware ? Or if the FCs IMU might also be experiencing higher vibration levels. Such things will affect both speed estimations. This can often be picked up in the logs. I'm always performing aerobatics with many airplanes, and rarely notice virtual airspeed or wind speed deviation. If it does occur for a moment, it's generally accompanied by attitude drift as well.
