New Tool: ROMFS2QGC (In Development)

• Enables the export of simulation-tuned parameters back to QGC for real-world use.
• Provides an automated solution to ensure consistency between simulation and physical flight behavior.

Changelog Entry

For release notes:

Feature: New Tool: ROMFS2QGC <- allows transferring parameters from simulation to QGroundControl

Disclamer

• This tool is still under development because simulation parameters currently lack type definitions (e.g., INT32, FLOAT, etc.), whereas QGC requires them. Determining the correct type for each parameter remains a challenge.

Test coverage

• Only using a previously created custom air frame.
• Further testing might be needed across multiple simulators and configurations.

Context

• A previous PR was submitted to the Gazebo simulator repository, but we later recognized the broader applicability of this tool across all simulators. See related PR: QGC-Gazebo Parameter Sync Tools & Avl_automation Enhancements.
