Please see the strange behavior as the plane goes away from the next waypoint, instead if trying to reach it . (the wind may cause it to turn extra fast, but the PID's are fine enough for a reliable RTL from any direction)

What's wrong ?

  • Hi,

    There's talk of planes but also of ArduCopter in this thread...

    Which aircraft firmware is it really, and which version?

    Andke can save the mission to a file and attach that?

    Regards Soren

  • updated the bugreport with more logs.

    http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/issues/detail?id=552

    please tell me if you have experienced anything like it, or know what's going on.

  • Andke,

    Im having a similar problem which i cant explain. With my problem, however, autopilot function only seems to work if i set GOTO WP... 3 or higher. If i simple order RESTART MISSION or try to perform an auto takeoff the plane will just pick a seemingly randon heading and fly that direction at the directed alt. The orange vector line that shows the next waypoint continues to point to the next (desired) waypoint. I never saw this behavior until i upgraded the planner software and therefore the arduplane software.

    By the way, all of my experience is strictly with hardware in the loop sim, i have yet to fly.

    Mike
  • actually - it does not seem like AP does anything, the "going away" is just a result of no input in wind.
