ArduCopter show-specific log messages
The custom ArduCopter firmware we provide with Skybrush Live has some extra log messages to support the diagnosis of the most important flight problems arising during drone shows.
We defined three new log messages: SHOW
, RTK
and FNCS
. Description of each of them can be found below.
