Tom, would appreciate your feeback on the use of the Altitude control and altitude mode when flying in automated navigation mode.
I am using Altitude mode set as "GPS Altitude relative to home" - the field I use shows as 40meters above sea-level on the Gluonpilot GPS when on the ground ( it is also 40m on the car sat-nav system at the field so the reading is accurate).
What should be the setting in the check-box for "Altitude control' if I want the Gluonpilot to control the altitude as it flys between waypoints ?
When using the "FLY_TO" command is the movement to the target Altitude based on the Altitude mode setting - for example if I am using "GPS Altitude relative to home" and I put 75m as the FLY_TO altitude will the plane climb to 75m above the ground at the field ?
The reason I am asking these questions is that the plane seems to be having problems on recognizing waypoints as I am trying more complex routes , in addition I am having connection reliability issues with the Xbee modules at the field so I am not able to monitor what is happening in real-time.
Many thanks for your help on this.
