Complete Parameter List


This is a complete list of the parameters which can be set via the MAVLink protocol in the EEPROM of your APM to control vehicle behaviour. This list is automatically generated from the latest ardupilot source code, and so may contain parameters which are not yet in the stable released versions of the code.

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

Waypoint number to navigate to on comms loss

GPS Loss Waypoint (AFS_GPS_LOSS)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This sets a digital output pin to set high on flight termination

AMSL limit (AFS_AMSL_LIMIT)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This sets the AMSL (above mean sea level) altitude limit. If the pressure altitude determined by QNH exceeds this limit then flight termination will be forced.

Error margin for GPS based AMSL limit (AFS_AMSL_ERR_GPS)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This sets margin for error in GPS derived altitude limit. This error margin is only used if the barometer has failed. If the barometer fails then the GPS will be used to enforce the AMSL_LIMIT, but this margin will be subtracted from the AMSL_LIMIT first, to ensure that even with the given amount of GPS altitude error the pressure altitude is not breached. OBC users should set this to comply with their D2 safety case. A value of -1 will mean that barometer failure will lead to immediate termination.

  • Units: meters

Enable RC Termination only in manual control modes (AFS_RC_MAN_ONLY)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

Enable dual loss terminate due to failure of both GCS and GPS simultaneously (AFS_DUAL_LOSS)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This enables the dual loss termination part of the AFS system. If this parameter is 1 and both GPS and the ground control station fail simultaneously, this will be considered a "dual loss" and cause termination.

RC failure time (AFS_RC_FAIL_TIME)

Note: This parameter is for advanced users

This is the time in seconds in manual mode that failsafe termination will activate if RC input is lost. For the OBC rules this should be (1.5). Use 0 to disable.

The first two bit positions control when the height datum will be corrected. Correction is performed using a Bayes filter and only operates when GPS quality permits.

With all electric helicopters it is recommended to set rotor runup one second longer than throttle ramp time. Piston and turbine helicopters must use a rotor speed sensor with this setting set to zero

At ground idle the engines should idle with clutch disengaged, and for engine start. !!WARNING!!

  • Range: 0 60
  • Units: seconds

Linearize swashplate servo mechanical throw (H_SWASHLINEAR)

Z position of the third IMU accelerometer in body frame. Positive Z is down from the origin. Attention: The IMU should be located as close to the vehicle c.g. as practical so that the value of this parameter is minimised. Failure to do so can result in noisy navigation velocity measurements due to vibration and IMU gyro noise. If the IMU cannot be moved and velocity noise is a problem, a location closer to the IMU can be used as the body frame origin.

Serial 3 (GPS) Baud Rate (SERIAL3_BAUD)

The baud rate used for the Serial 3 (GPS). The APM2 can support all baudrates up to 115, and also can support 500. The PX4 can support rates of up to 1500. If you setup a rate you cannot support on APM2 and then can't connect to your board you should load a firmware from a different vehicle type. That will reset all your parameters to defaults.
