Notes

Insufficient attendees for "quorum". General discussion on a number of these but no "decisions.

---

• COMPONENT METADATA: translation - what's needed to get this in?

• Changes to standard flight modes #1915

  • user selectable mode - now makes sense to me.
  • not sure about about overriding name text.

• COMPONENT_INFORMATION_BASIC- software/hardware version as int #1930

  • no to custom name - not desperate to implement everywhere
  • enum vs formatted in field?

• message_definitions: add all_with_development.xml #1924 - how we progress

  • Prefer not to modify the XML but use the WIP tag properly.
  • AO: JamesP to talk to PeterB to get movement on https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink/pull/240

• Airspeed message: update #1900 -

  • ? James still needs to talk to Peter.

• Prearm command - what's the risk

  • accidentally disarming. So the command definition should specifically be "can only do from disarmed".
  • In very first use, motor attached to servo.
