Overview

The DEV parameter group (specifically DEV_OPTIONS) contains flags for enabling experimental or developer-only features in ArduCopter.

These features are often unstable, untested, or intended for deep debugging of internal state.

Key Concepts

1. Developer Flags

Bitmask options that toggle specific internal behaviors.

  • Bit 0: Enable ADS-B simulation (SITL).
  • Bit 1: Enable debug logging for certain subsystems.
  • (Options vary significantly between firmware versions).

Parameter Breakdown

  • DEV_OPTIONS: Bitmask.

Integration Guide

  • Warning: Do not enable these unless you are an ArduPilot developer or strictly following instructions from one. They can alter flight behavior unexpectedly.

Developer Notes

  • Library: ArduCopter/Parameters.cpp
