Gluonpilot

Hi Tom,

Might you explaint for me....
In setting of Altitude control-Control tab page...
Stabilized: Elevator stick: (ON) altitude - (OFF) pitch
Navigation: Altitude: (ON) manual (OFF) waypoint

Thanks,

JM

This settings tells the gluonpilot how to calculate the desired pitch angle:

ON
In stabilized mode
* your transmitter stick commands the pitch angle to keep altitude, or climb or descent
In navigation mode
* pitch angle is controlled by the elevator transmitter stick

OFF
In stabilized mode
* pitch: yourtransmitter stick commands the pitch angle
In navigation mode
* pitch is controlled by target altitude from waypoint

Does this make sense?

Hi Tom,

Thanks alot.

another bug I was found to day... I using ver 0.72

1/ I using 6 Channel PWM into GluonPilot. Channel 5 for Manual, Stab, Auto. Channel 6 for another trick in Autopilot mode like: If channel 6>1700 uS goto Block gohome etc.. But when i looking in R/c inputtab page...Channel 6 bar active only if channel 5 in autopilot mode ???

2/ In Control tab page i cannot change pitch between -14 to 14 degree. After write and burn and the read it show only 0 and 14. Plus number can change to 16 or... and negative cannot?

3/ Circle cannot write in relative, alway write in absolute

4/ Loiter mode is avaiable?

Thank alot,

Sure:

1) I will test it. Honestly, I never used channel 6 myself
2) Strange.. Can you try the new beta from the download section?
3) Yes, I need to fix that. When the GPS is locked, the home position is set and all relative coordinates are translated by gluonpilot into absolute ones... In the beta version I only do it when the speed reached 7km/h once (=airborne). But a better solution is needed indeed.
4) Yes. SET_LOITER_POSITION and LOITER_CIRCLE. For optimal use, you will need an XBee and the groundstation. You create a block "LOITER" that contains these 2 commands (+ GOTO to remain in the circle). Press the "LOITER" button and it starts loitering
