20190724 Dev Meeting

Agenda

General:

Discussed the following issues

#880 add ESTIMATOR msgs, MAV_FIELD and MAV_SENSOR_TYPE enum
- Seems like a reasonable enough idea but it has been sitting around for a while with no real champion, and no indication that there is a plan to implement. Agreed to close. Can be reopened if someone actually wants to work on something that uses this.
#1182 Clarify use of multiple batteries
- JamesP concerned about how "aggregated battery status" will scale and how it is better than ArduPilot "let user decide what battery to present. Is to present this view in PR.
- HamishW summarised view in PR.
JamesP to push PeterB on reviewing the MAVLink bugs 339 and 338. If 338 is a technically better solution, HamishW to help get it to a mergable state.
#1167 Add OpenDroneID messages
- Søren Friis joined to discuss status. Will join again next meeting to discuss with Lorenz. Summary of discussion here
#1179 Message SCALED_IMU - magnetic field
- Message appears to use incorrect units
- AI JulianOes to verify what PX4 does - DONE See comments down from here
#1169 Support for a component version

#1180 Deprecate MAV_CMD_REQUEST_* in favor of MAV_CMD_REQUEST_MESSAGE
