ArduCopter SHOW parameters

Controls various aspects of the position control algorithm built into the firmware

Update rate of the target position and velocity during the show

Index of the group that this drone belongs to

Minimum distance that the hard fence extends beyond the standard geofence

Allows you to enable (1) or disable (0) the hard fence functionality

Minimum time that the vehicle needs to spend outside the hard geofence to trigger a motor shutdown

PWM channel to use for the LED output (1-based) if the LED type is "NeoPixel", "ProfiLED" or "NeoPixel RGBW"; the MAVLink channel to use if the LED type is "MAVLink"; the I2C address of the LED if the LED type is "I2C"; the UART index if the LED type is "WGDrones". For UART-driven LEDs, you also need to set the baud rate in SERIALx_BAUD and set SERIALx_PROTOCOL to "Scripting" to ensure that the UART is initialized.

For NeoPixel or ProfiLED LED strips: specifies how many LEDs there are on the strip. For I2C LEDs: specifies the index of the bus that the LED is attached to.

Specifies the exponent of the gamma correction to apply on the RGB values of this channel. Set this to 1 if you do not want to use gamma correction or if the LEDs perform gamma correction on their own; otherwise typical values are in the range 2.2 to 2.8 for LEDs. Set a value that provides an approximately linear perceived brightness response when the LEDs are faded from full black to full white.

Specifies where the output of the main LED light track of the show should be sent

Specifies the color temperature of the white LED of the channel if the channel makes use of an additional white LED. Set to zero if you don’t know the color temperature of the white LED or if there is no white LED.

Maximum allowed drift from planned trajectory in XY plane that we tolerate during show, in meters. Zero to turn off XY checks. Drifts exceeding the threshold will trigger a status flag but do not abort the show.

Maximum allowed drift from planned trajectory in Z direction that we tolerate during show, in meters. Zero to turn off Z checks. Drifts exceeding the threshold will trigger a status flag but do not abort the show.

Bitfield that specifies when the drone should switch to show mode automatically

Orientation of the X axis of the show coordinate system in CW direction relative to North, -1 if unset

AMSL altitude of the origin of the drone show coordinate system, -10000000 or smaller if unset

Latitude of the origin of the drone show coordinate system, zero if unset

Longitude of the origin of the drone show coordinate system, zero if unset

Controls the brightness of light signals on the drone that are used to report status information when the drone is on the ground

Whether the drone is authorized to start the show

Start time of drone show as a GPS time of week timestamp (sec), negative if unset

Time synchronization mode to use when starting the show

Altitude above current position to take off to when starting the show

Maximum placement error that we tolerate before takeoff, in meters. Zero to turn off XY placement accuracy checks.

Multiplier used when mixing the desired velocity of the drone into the velocity target of the position controller. Lower values will result in more relaxed/stable behaviour, at the price of a smoothed trajectory with rounded corners, less accuracy and more lag behind desired position. Higher values will decrease lag, make trajectory following more accurate, sharp and agressive, but might increase overshoot at corners and decrease stability if general attitude control is not tuned well.
