Auto-TakeOff / Launch to pre-config Altitude, control handback to Pilot - mode (eg like DJI Ph)

Posted by Gerhard Laubscher on June 25, 2016 at 6:39am

Hi All,
  Does Copt  3.3.3 support this feature/function/mode  (which I believe is possible with DJI Ph) -

Pilot set the correct mode/params -

The pilot now initiate Auto-take-off / Launch  (via his tx cmd)

The vehicle launch and auto-take-off to a set height of eg 5m.

At reaching the required Alt, it will enter eg 'Pos-Hold' mode, with the Pilot now taking control. 

(Mode/Alt pre-config via MP by Pilot)

If possible, how would one do that with Copt 3.3.3 without doing it in a Auto-Mission fashion.

 Is there a special mode for this feature?

If already covered somewhere in the forums,  please kindly point me in the direction.

Thank you for your advice on this matter.

I posted this in ArduPilot previously, with little response.

 Does this mean this 'mode' cannot be implemented, or is it that it is so very

 basic that nobody wants to comments, am I missing something in

reading as to what I want to achieve?

I really just want to know whether it is possible, and then if, 'how-to' ?

I am also posting this in ArduCopt 3.4

      Person is asking if you can put the takeoff command on a switch without planning a mission, which you cannot.  Takeoff is only available through the mission planner.

        Thank you Jason,

         you understand my topic query spot-on.

         Having read the the appropriate pages in the manual,

         I came to the same conclusion that at this time the feature

        cannot be implemented the way I think it could work.

        It seems AndreK knows how to implement this. I hope he is prepared to

        share his knowledge on this topic with the diy community.

        Regards,

        GertJL

      Hi, thanks for your interesting and valuable reply.

      I had a look-read at copter prior to posting here.  I am still unsure and could not find the topic page of how to implement such a feature, hence the topic query within this friendly supporting community.

      I conclude that you are an experienced and knowledgeable person with Copter.

      So I am glad that you have taken the time to reply.  Maybe you could at least give

      me some pointers on how to implement this basic feature or point me to some pages

      where this feature or method  is described instead of just referring me to the copter manual.

      Thank you.
