A lifeline for ArduPilot craft.

Project description

Parachute

Parachute is a swiss army knife for ArduPilot settings. It helps you quickly and easily back up all your parameters to a file (and restore them). It also lets you get/set them, filter them, diff them, restore them or convert them to parameter files compatible with Mission Planner/QGroundControl.

Installation

Installing Parachute is simple. You can use pipx (recommended):

$ pipx install parachute

Or pip (less recommended):

$ pip install parachute

Usage

Parachute is called like so:

$ parachute backup <craft name>

For example:

$ parachute backup Mini-Drak

To restore:

$ parachute restore backup.chute

Conversion

You can also convert a Parachute file to a file compatible with Mission Planner or QGroundControl:

$ parachute convert qgc Mini-Drak_2021-03-02_02-29.chute Mini-Drak.params

Filtering

You can filter parameters based on a regular expression:

$ parachute filter "serial[123]_" Mini-Drak_2021-03-02_02-29.chute filtered.chute

Since all parameter names are uppercase, the regex is case-insensitive, for convenience.

You can also filter when converting:

$ parachute convert --filter=yaw mp Mini-Drak_2021-03-02_02-29.chute -

Comparing

You can compare parameters in a backup with parameters on the craft:

$ parachute compare backup.chute

Getting/setting

You can get and set parameters:

$ parachute get BATT_AMP_OFFSET BATT_AMP_PERVLT
$ parachute set BATT_AMP_OFFSET=-0.0135 BATT_AMP_PERVLT=63.8826
