Tom, thanks for helpfull inputs!
For the safety-settings, my subjective short list for conditions to react on would probably consist of:
- manually being able to abort mission/rtl, by flipping a switch on the tx
- max distance from home
- max flight time
- low bat
- min agl
With regard to my wish for a separate tab in the config prog/config menu, for setting safety walues, and your reply; I would have preferrd to have both;
- default (conservative) values to be defined in the confign prog., and possibility to explicitly override in mission planning. Meaning; if not explicitly overridden, conservative values would be used. (Even if this might introduce some complexity).
One other thing; there is a setting for "min throttle" in the config tab. As I have experienced/understood it; If this value is set to anything but null, this means tx must be on all the time - and throttle manually set to 0, or the throttle goes to the "min value". (Even when tuning the ap at home). If I have understood correct, I would prefere the throttle was allways set to 0 - when in auto and takeoff not detected.
