Please read the release notes carefully and upgrade INAV Configurator application.

INAV is and will remain open-source and free, but you are more than welcome to support the development.

This release was supported by our awesome sponsors CarbonBird.com, Airbot, ADPM Drones and a number of supporters on Patreon.

CLI parameter renaming / new parameters

New parameters have been introduced. Some CLI parameters were renamed to support new features or to better reflect their meaning:

Name Description
smartport_fuel_unit
rangefinder_median_filter
baro_median_filter
failsafe_lights
failsafe_lights_flash_period
failsafe_lights_flash_on_time
battery_capacity Set the battery capacity in mAh or mWh (see battery_capacity_unit). Used to calculate the remaining battery capacity
battery_capacity_warning If the remaining battery capacity goes below this threshold the beeper will emit short beeps and the relevant OSD items will blink
battery_capacity_critical If the remaining battery capacity goes below this threshold the battery is considered empty and the beeper will emit long beeps.
battery_capacity_unit Unit used for battery_capacity, battery_capacity_warning and battery_capacity_critical [MAH/MWH] (milliAmpere hour / milliWatt hour)
manual_rc_expo Expo settings used for the PITCH/ROLL axes by the MANUAL unstabilized flight mode
manual_rc_yaw_expo Expo settings used for the YAW axis by the MANUAL unstabilized flight mode
manual_pitch_rate
manual_roll_rate
manual_yaw_rate
gps_ublox_use_galileo Enable use of Galileo satellites. This is at the expense of other regional constellations, so benefit may also be regional. Requires M8N and Ublox firmware 3.x (or later) [OFF/ON]. Default is OFF
smartport_fuel_unit
osd_stats_energy_unit
osd_main_voltage_decimals
osd_wh_drawn_pos
osd_bat_remaining_capacity_pos
osd_bat_remaining_percent_pos
osd_efficiency_mah_pos
osd_efficiency_wh_pos
display_force_sw_blink
mag_to_use Allow to chose between built-in and external compass sensor if they are connected to separate buses. Currently only for REVO target
nav_fw_launch_min_time Allow launch mode to execute at least this time (ms) and ignore stick movements
nav_fw_launch_max_altitude Altitude at which LAUNCH mode will be turned off and regular flight mode will take over
