HI,
I'm working on a small copter, and think I changed a setting I shouldn't have.. Or maybe something else is going on...
I can't overcome loiter drift... I'm hovering in my back yard w/ not great satellite reception, so the copter wants to drift all over. On a different copter, I can always fight the loiter movement. But, I just built a small 250 size quad w/ an auav-x2 flight controller, and I cannot manually override the loiter movements.. If the copter is moving forward, and I pull the stick full back, so it should pitch back and fly backwards towards me, it only slows the forward flight. If I switch to alt-hold or another mode, I can take control as usual.
Does anyone know what setting controls how much manual input I have over loiter mode? Or, if something else might be wrong?
Thanks!

Loiter is setup to be quite tame compared to alt.hold
Well, that's the value I increased earlier, before I noticed this issue. I'm thinking that setting is how fast it automatically moves itself.. not the level of manual control.. (I don't know, though).
So, I decreased that setting, and it didn't make much of a difference.
I had also lowered the rc feel, which I increased again, and it hasn't made a difference either.
WPNAV_SPEED is for AUTO.
How much did you increase WPNAV_LOIT_SPEED? It's in cm/s.
I changed all four loit settings, initially in an attempt to speed up loiter mode. Then I changed a couple again..
I unfortunately don't have a backup... This is pretty much the initial configuration of it.
Here are all my WPNAV_ settings.
WPNAV_ACCEL,100
WPNAV_ACCEL_Z,100
WPNAV_LOIT_JERK,1000
WPNAV_LOIT_MAXA,250
WPNAV_LOIT_MINA,25
WPNAV_LOIT_SPEED,500
WPNAV_RADIUS,200
WPNAV_SPEED,500
WPNAV_SPEED_DN,150
WPNAV_SPEED_UP,250
I guess it's safe to assume I caused this issue by playing w/ the settings, and I should reset it all to default, and selectively copy over the settings I want to keep.
Or, is there a list of default settings somewhere?
