RTL MODE

[phillou91]

Hello
my question is : without navigation instructions recorded in the gluon module, is the plane entered in a rtl mode if a radio problem occurs ? (gps fix at field startup memorized ?)

thanks Philippe (near Paris FRANCE)

Hello Philippe,

Yes that is how it works. It will fly towards the home position at a target altitude of 100 meter.

Note: the navigation memory should be formatted to make sure all navigation commands are "empty" and not any random data.

perfect !

Hello Tom,

first i like to tell you, i like your Autopilot System very much
more easy to handle then the Ardupilot i have at my other plane E-Cularis
It is every time like magic to use a switch and the plane comes home
at my MK Kopter it is like normal, but this function by a fixed wing plane is so amazing

now to my question or wish
if i have send a Navigation List to the Board and it is flying his waypoint, is there any way
to ad a separate RTL Switch
that would make it much more safe
as example my Jeti Receiver could make at any TX-RX fault his Failsafe position for the RTL switch middle at any Navigation Waypoint flight list also

sorry for ask this, but i am self not so good in software developing

have a nice weekend and
best Regards from Saarland

Hello Christian,

Thanks for the compliments on the gluonpilot! I am happy you like it.

I am planning to add it in the future, but currently you need to do it like this:
After every waypoint you can add:

CIRCLE_REL(0,0,100,100)
UNTIL (Channelx < 1500)

This will make the plane circle around the home position as long as channel X is BIGGER than 1500ms.

Is this a work-around that can help you?

this is a great workaround thanks
and have a nice weekend

(don't forget to test it before you fly out-of-sight)
