The InvenSense icm20608g and icm20689 don't have a FIFO watermark interrupt, but they do have a data ready interrupt and the ability to get the current FIFO count in the same large transfer as the actual FIFO data. So instead of manually checking the FIFO count before every transfer (costs ~ 1-3% cpu) we trust the data ready counts, verify things are in sync after the large transfer (fifo count + fifo contents), and force a manual check before the next transfer if necessary. As a precaution this change lowers the threshold for forcing a manual FIFO count check before the large transfer. Forcing the check if out of sync by 2 (or more) samples makes sense because we always do transfers in multiples of 2 (gyro samples per accel). The other small cosmetic changes are keeping the icm20608g and icm20689 in sync (they're nearly identical).

PX4 Users
The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!
PX4 Developers
This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.
Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Weekly Dev Call
The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.
Note
The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.
