Cleanflight 1.11 is on its way
Looks like there will be a new release of Cleanflight flight controller software before Christmas 2015. Version 1.11.0-RC1 has been tagged 10 days ago. So, maybe even this week if there will be no bugs. What's new in 1.11? No, no Betaflight yet, and no iNav (Navigation Rewrite). Some improvements, new supported hardware (Naze32 Rev6 and RMRC DoDo), some bugs fixed. But with 1.11 some features will be removed as well.
First of all, number of PID controllers has been cut in half. PID Controller 0 (MultiWii), 4 (MultiWii 2.3 Hybrid) and 5 (Harakiri) has been removed and will be no longer available. Why? They were not very popular (maybe besides default PID 0) and they were using precious space in flash memory. This is the most important signal that lifetime of STM32 F1 based flight controllers is coming to an end. Naze32, Flip32 and others does not have enough flash memory to fit all functions.
Second, Autotune has been replaced with G-Tune. I did not tried G-Tune yet, so I have nothing to say about it. I've tried Autotune few times as was not very happy with results. Not only it did not supported PID controller I prefer (LuxFloat), but I also noticed that tuned P value was too high for my needs. So, bye bye Autotune, I will not miss you...
