Regarding auto landing

[Kang.K.P.S.]

Dear Tom,
Auto landing seems to work quite well in newer firmware on electric models but on fueled models
it does not seem to cut the throttle properly.
Moreover I think there should be a provision of choosing to use ether the barometric or the GPS height or a mean of the both. This will certainly help those prefer to stick to local missions or those adhere to long distance flights.

Cordially,
Kang.K.P.S.

Hi Kang,

Could you give me some more information on why it doesn't cut the throttle properly with a gas engine?

Yes I am working on a GPS -only altitude. Currently it it predefined in the code, but I'm planning on making it configurable. I expect you will need to enter absolute altitude in this case.

Tom,
It gets the throttle to its minimum value but does not cuts fully during auto landing! Any suggestions?
However,it will be very convenient to make the use of barometric/gps configurable through the gluon config.

Hi Kang,

0% throttle is equal to the amount of throttle the RC-transmitter was sending when the gluonpilot booted. Maybe this is the reason?

Dear Tom,
Sorry for delay as I was away this weekend.Perhaps you are right .
I had a nice flight and good landing this morning. Thanx for the help
Cordially,
Kang.
