Overview

The WNDSPD parameter group (specifically WNDSPD_MIN) configures the environmental thresholds for specialized vehicle behaviors.

Key Concepts

(ArduRover Sailboat) Defines the minimum wind speed required to engage the sailing logic.

Behavior: If the wind is below this threshold, the boat may rely on its motor (if equipped) rather than attempting to tack inefficiently.

Sailboat minimum wind speed to sail in m/s

Default 0

Range 0 5

Sailboat minimum wind speed to continue sail in, at lower wind speeds the sailboat will motor if one is fitted.

This parameter sets the threshold for Hybrid Sailing.

Function: If the wind drops below this speed, the autopilot assumes sailing is ineffective and will start the motor (if equipped) to maintain progress towards the waypoint.
Use Case: Cruising or long-endurance missions where you want to sail as much as possible but need to ensure you don't get becalmed.
