Description Ferran 2021-07-19 09:17:00 UTC
Created attachment 140180 [details]
2 jobs scheduled by time.

SUMMARY
In Ekos, when scheduling 2 jobs with start up on start time it labels as invalid the first one as 'unachievable due to the completion time of its previous sibling, marking invalid.', but it isn't. See screen capture.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open EKOS and start simulators.
2. Add a job in the scheduler with a start time (i.e. 22:00) with a short (dummmy) sequence lasting 1 or 2 minutes
3. Add another job with start time 15 minutes later (i.e. 22:15). 

OBSERVED RESULT
The first one is mark as invalid.

EXPECTED RESULT
Both jobs must be scheduled

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If the 'invalid' jobs is selected and the priority is modified, then both jobs are mark as scheduled. This is a workaround for 2 jobs, but when you add 3, 4 or 5 jobs, this workaround didn't work.

I am getting the same bug. The workaround for 3+ jobs in the scheduler works for me, though it does take more trial and error to find the multiple various priorities that allow all of the jobs to be successfully scheduled. I haven't tried it with more than 6 jobs though.

Hi dave,

I found another workaround. In Options/Ekos/Scheduler, uncheck "Sort Jobs by Altitud and Priority". Then you can sort the jobs manually.
