Got the bird back in the air again this morning. 2.6 is looking good with thermopiles!
I need to turn my servo gains down, as I'm driving a little drunk, but other than that.....
Altitude hold is excellent.
WP navigation is excellent in my book.
AUTO nudge is correct.
Logging output is excellent.
Stock auto airspeed setting is good.
I still can't get a good bank in FBW mode, but I'm thinking I should just switch to stabilize. That's what's going to go up next.
Guess I'm going to have to bite on the IMU to get auto takeoff and landing.....right?
I sincerely appreciate everyone's efforts on this....it's paying off!

Started off pretty well, and then seemed to get kind of wobbly towards the end of the flight. Not sure what that's about, but I've started off by turning DOWN my servo gains a bit to .0045, and leaving the nav gains alone.
We'll see how that goes. Again, the altitude hold is awesome, and it really does navigate well.
Here's a capture of the flight.
Just out of curiosity, what made the plane loop around WP1 Left to Right in this latest flight, but hit the WP and make a left bank to WP2 in the first flight?
Looking forward to autonomous takeoffs next!
Thanks!
Did you create your goggle tracks by simply saving the serial telemetry and then manually creating a google kml file? Or is there another way?
As for auto take-off and landing, if you are in an open area like it seems in your pic, thermopiles might do the job fine. I have not really read how the auto land works in the code yet so i am not sure how accurate attitude readings need to be.
