[Koaxpilot]

Hello

i have today my first flight wife the gluonpilot .
the stabilized mode works wery wery good .
at the next i would test the navigation .... but it doesn´t work
when i put the switch to the navigation mode the plane fly not a circel is only stabilized but not navigation .
i have juse this code :
1.CIRCLE_REL(0, 0, 25, 25)
2.GOTO 1

do you have a ideer ..?
i have read that is must flash the firmware when i have a new board , but i haven´t make this because the gluonpilot works , or is on the board an ather firmware when i became this

i hope you can help me ....
and
i hope you can understand my english because it is not so good

MfG

Hi Ludwig,

First off I would flash the board with latest Firmware.
Not sure when you got the board but I would double check this and do the flash - you would be then sure that you are up to date.

Secondly make sure that when you want to switch to autopilot mode you have the RC channel trimmed in a way that gluopilot board actually knows that this is AP mode. Verify this by running GluonConfig tool and check that the AP channel when switching to AP goes to the left side:

Thirdly, looking at circle that you want the plane to fly:
1.CIRCLE_REL(0, 0, 25, 25)
2.GOTO 1

The figure (circle) is to tight: Height 25m and radius 25m - not sure if this is safe altitude

Tom might correct me or add additional information that might help you out.
All the best in first flights!!

Lukasz just said everything

I don't know what type of plane you are flying, but I would set the circle radius to a minimum of something like 80 meters and a height of 100 meters to be safe (to begin with).

i think the rc channel is right but i cann make a screen shot an you can tell my if it right or rong

@tom cann you tell my if i have the right software on my board ?
on the backsite off the board the number is 36

thank you wery mutch

Ludwig, It would be better if you flashed the module.

Tom has provided very good guidelines how to do this:

Ludwig,

The software version is OK. You probably need to trim the "autopilot-mode-channel" on your transmitter. If you send me the .xml containing the Datalog I can take a look as well.

The green bar in the configuration tool (RC-input tab, the channel you selected as "AP") should be able to move from the left (autopilot mode) to the center (stabilized mode) to the right (manual mode).

i make a foto ok ?

[Tom]

Ok, make a photo or screenshot when your transmitter is in "autopilot mode".

hi

here is the foto .... you can see all 3 modes



edit : whenn you click in you can make the foto bigger
i´m wery happy abaut your help, thank you wery wery mutch

Hmmm this looks to be OK...

What did you enter in the "PID" tab?
