Hello everybody.
I am currently using the APM v2.8 as a flight controller for my quadcopter. I am trying to get it to perform autonomously (in auto mode with a set flight plan from mission planner) as soon as the battery is connected, or to get it to wait 2 seconds until it goes into auto mode. Is there a way to make this possible?
Thank you

Perfect. Do you know how can I script it into the navio2? The instructions set by emlid are very poorly written and are not very helpful

Yes, you can script this easily on Navio 2 with Python and Dronekit.
I don't know if it's possible on a APM 2.8. That can only run old code, and I don't know what will work and what won't.
So there's no way to do this with the APM? On another note, I also have been trying to use the Navio2 with the raspberry pi but it presented a lot of complications when trying to run it through mission planner. Would using the raspberry pi help me accomplish what I am trying to make instead of using the Pixhawk?

APM 2.8 is not supported anymore with the current code. If you upgrade to Pixhawk you can use the current code.
To automatically go into auto mode, it's best to script the arming process from Mission Planner in Python. You will need some some soft of GCS connected, or add a companion computer to run that scriot
