APM arduplane : After failsafe throttle stays on

Posted by Lucas on February 6, 2014 at 5:23am

Hello everybody!

I can't figure out what is wrong in my apm settings. When my transmitter is on manual mode or stabilized mode everything works good as it should. I have set the throttle failsafe and here is my problem, if I switch off my transmitter the APM try to get my plane to RTL so it sets the throttle on, to go back home (75% writen on the APM planner), but when I switch my transmitter back on, on manual mode or stabilized mode the throttle goes back to 0% on the APM planner, but keeps running on my plane and it's impossible to stop it.

Any idea?

Lucas.

      All good everything works good now!!! I can turn off my tx and turn it on, throttle is ok, I guess It's the ESC calibration that was wrong! the last thing that I don't understand is in RTL mode or stabilized the throttle ll always run slowly even if the plane is not moving, it's I guess because my GPS is maybe not to accurate and it's is not really a problem, a just have to land in Manual mode...

      My plane is able to come back home on its on and I find it amazing!!!

      Thanks a lot for your precious help guys!

    What is your ARMING_REQUIRE set to?

    Failsafe RTL does not disengage once it gets connection, you need to switch mode to confirm that you are in control.

    -lets say your TX is in stab.

    -APM loses connection, APM goes into RTL

    -then it gets signal from RX, still in RTL.

    - you need now to select any other mode, at least temporarily, to disengage failsafe
