"Home in the mission planner is only used by HIL sims. Home is overwritten in the field when you have 3D lock and when you arm the copter. re-arming the copter resets home location to the current loc.

I am probably being stupid on this, but am I right in thinking that the way RTL works is that when invoked it will return to Home as defined in the Mission Planner?If this is the case then would it not be more useful for RTL to return to the GPS location first recorded for the flight, i.e. the launch point if you wait for GPS lock before taking off?I would appreciate someone explaining how this works. My guess is that perhaps I misunderstanding how Home works in the Mission Planner.ThanksSee More
Andrew Bailey replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion APM not recognising receiver output - is it broken?"Hi Robert. To be honest I did not think to try and return the APM to DIYDrones. I just bought another one and binned the faulty one. Good luck."
Robert LaRue replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion APM not recognising receiver output - is it broken?"I think I have the same problem. Were you able to return the faulty one? Did they replace it or did you have to pay for a new one?"
Andrew Bailey replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion Hex with AC2?"OK, loaded AC2 (x mode) this afternoon and she flies. I'm using a Jakub frame with Arducopter 880 motors and 10x4.5 props and it does need a bit of tuning. It's too windy to do anything useful with it today. I tried alt hold and loiter and…"

Andrew Bailey replied to Al Ros's discussion Mag orientation and offsets"Is the Sparkfun mag supported in the new code?"
Andrew Bailey replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion First Arducopter video"Hello Gustav,
I have been playing with quad about 9 months now. They are fascinating but can also be very frustrating.
You are probably best for the moment to stay running the latest Piratese code, or if you want to play it a bit safer you could…"
Gustav Kuhn replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion First Arducopter video"Hi Andrew,
I'm a noob at this :-(
(But hardware/technically inclined, no code monkey though)
So, what code should I be using/looking at?
At the moment I'm running the latest Pirate NG, standard PID values.
Arducopter is my experience/intro…"
Andrew Bailey replied to Andrew Bailey's discussion First Arducopter video"You are right. I changed the offending ESC some time ago and it sorted the problem out. I have since moved on to a hexacopter which I will use as an AV ship with stabilized camera mount. Thanks for responding though :-)"
