UPLOAD LATEST LUMINOUSBEE PARAMETER LIST

How to download our official parameter list and use it in Mission Planner or SkyBrush Live:

Our official parameter list contains the parameters that characterise our drones. The parameter values are carefully chosen after careful analysis and flight tests and published in our public GitHub repository.

Mission Planner has the ability to upload our parameter list to one drone at a time and only if connected via USB .
SkyBrush Live , has the possibility of uploading our reference to a fleet of drones at the same time via the ‘Parameter upload’ function.

You can download the latest public version directly by clicking this buttom below

Download latest LuminousBees official parameter list v.7
.0.0

Inside the folder: ‘LuminousBees‘. you will find 4 files :

LuminousBees_REFERENCE.param
LuminousBees_MANIFEST.param
LuminousBees_unique_params_gold_motors.parm
LuminousBees_unique_params_white_motors.parm
LuminousBees_unique_params_silver_motors.parm

Both are the same but have a different format for use in 2 separate programmes : Mission Planner and SkyBrush Live .

The “gold_motors” and “white_motors” and “silver_motors” files depend on the type of motors the drone has . In fact, there are some parameters that depend on the type of motor.
These parameters will have to be applied after loading the parameter list REFERENCE , using the COMPARE tool of Mission Planner. After loading the reference file , repeat the procedure but using the “gold_motors” or “white_motors” file according to the drone motor type.
