a1 in polynomial of form temperature in deg = a0 + a1*voltage + a2*voltage^2 + a3*voltage^3 + a4*voltage^4 + a5*voltage^5

TEMP8_A2

Temperature sensor analog 2nd polynomial coefficient

a2 in polynomial of form temperature in deg = a0 + a1*voltage + a2*voltage^2 + a3*voltage^3 + a4*voltage^4 + a5*voltage^5

TEMP8_A3

Temperature sensor analog 3rd polynomial coefficient

TEMP8_ADDR

Temperature sensor address

Temperature sensor address, typically used for I2C address

Range	0 to 127
Reboot required	Yes — the change takes effect after a reboot.
User level	Advanced

TEMP8_BUS

Temperature sensor bus

Temperature sensor bus number, typically used to select from multiple I2C buses

Range	0 to 3
Reboot required	Yes — the change takes effect after a reboot.
User level	Advanced

TEMP8_MSG_ID

Temperature sensor DroneCAN message ID

Sets the message device ID this backend listens for

Range

0 to 65535

TEMP8_PIN

Temperature sensor analog voltage sensing pin

Sets the analog input pin that should be used for temprature monitoring. Values for some autopilots are given as examples. Search wiki for “Analog pins”.

Range	-1 to 127
User level	Standard

Values

Value	Meaning
-1	Disabled
2	Pixhawk/Pixracer/Navio2/Pixhawk2_PM1
5	Navigator
13	Pixhawk2_PM2/CubeOrange_PM2
14	CubeOrange
16	Durandal
100	PX4-v1

TEMP8_RTD_NOM

Nominal RTD resistance

Nominal RTD resistance used to calculate temperature, typically 100 or 1000 ohms.

User level

Standard

TEMP8_RTD_REF

RTD reference resistance

Reference resistance used to calculate temperature, in ohms

User level

Standard

TEMP8_SRC

Sensor Source

Sensor Source is used to designate which device’s temperature report will be replaced by this temperature sensor’s data. If 0 (None) then the data is only available via log. In the future a new Motor temperature report will be created for returning data directly.

User level

Standard

Values

Value	Meaning
0	None
1	ESC
2	Motor
3	Battery Index
4	Battery ID/SerialNumber
5	CAN based Pitot tube
6	DroneCAN-out on AP_Periph
7	Servo motor
8	Servo PCB

TEMP8_SRC_ID

Sensor Source Identification

Sensor Source Identification is used to replace a specific instance of a system component’s temperature report with the temp sensor’s. Examples: TEMP_SRC = 1 (ESC), TEMP_SRC_ID = 1 will set the temp of ESC1. TEMP_SRC = 3 (BatteryIndex),TEMP_SRC_ID = 2 will set the temp of BATT2. TEMP_SRC = 4 (BatteryId/SerialNum),TEMP_SRC_ID=42 will set the temp of all batteries that have param BATTn_SERIAL = 42.

TEMP8_TYPE

Temperature Sensor Type

Enables temperature sensors

Reboot required	Yes — the change takes effect after a reboot.
