Return to Home and Land

Posted by Mike Bratton on November 14, 2015 at 5:20pm

I have used mission planner now for about one and half years.  My Quad Copter has work great after making all the changes the way I wanted them.  Have flown many a waypoint mission and all worked fine. My computer dropped dead so got me a new one. Downloaded Mission Planner 1.3.32 on to the new computer. Hooked to the board and made a test program loaded it to the quad and all worked great except RTL. RTL use to return to launch and land.  Now all it does is return to launch but will not land.  I can't seem to find where I adjusted this before in mission planner to get it to land again.  Can someone point me in the right direction?  

Thank you in advance.

Mike

    Hi Mike

    without hooking up to my multi I cant see the full parameter list, there is a parameter that needs to be set to 0 for machine to land.

    try the find function look for rtl or land or alt. should come up

    hope that helps.

      Thanks ltsfishi

      I RTL set for 0, which says it should land which it has always done before.  But for some reason it does not now.  Maybe it is holding way to long before it land but I waited like three minutes and it just stays above where it should land.  Thanks for the reply

          I have RTL_LOI_TIME set for 0 also, and RTL_ALT_FINAL set for 0 also, I have RTL set for 0. The real odd thing is it worked fine for a year always landed. There has to be something in this version of mission planner 1.3.32 that I now have compared to the one had before my computer died. HELP Please
