Upgrade to the Revolution Nano for better flight characteristics and Revolution features. +Release Notes - OpenPilot - Version RELEASE-15.05 RC3 +This release introduces new features and new hardware support for the Revolution Nano. Note that the CC3D is not supported by this feature release. New features for multirotors include: +- Fully autonomous flight is now possible with auto-takeoff and landing as flight modes available to path plans. +- An all new implementation of altitude vario provides improved altitude maintenance and smoother flight. +- A new RateTrainer flight mode for beginners and aerial photographers makes it easier to use this mode by limiting the pitch and roll extents. +- A new GPS assisted VelocityRoam flight mode replacing the PositionRoam flight mode. This uses AltVario and a velocity controller for smooth GPS guided flight. +- 4CH transmitters for multirotor (and 2CH for ground) is now supported if a single flight mode count is set. +- It is now easier to takeoff with an improved axis-lock on yaw implementation. +- Full speed flight just got faster with new motor constraints that maintain your ability to enact roll without requiring an upper throttle limit of 90%. +- Setup of GPS is now automatic with auto-baud detection. +- Support for dual telemetry and minim OSD programing have been added. +- New control protocols have been introduced.
