Decend Rate - ArduCopter 2.8.1

Posted by Saurabh Srivastava on December 11, 2012 at 2:01am

Hi Folks...

 

How do I adjust the decend rate of my Arducopter 2.8.1 for auto landing ? It comes down pretty fast.... I am scared it will crash hard on the ground... so I usually take control after a certain decend limit. I do not have a sonar and my Barometer is protected with a lens cover against prop wash.

    I have a nice descend rate for autoland but a super fast descend rate for auto mode landing command. What should I do ?

    From what I've seen Sonar is a no-brainer $20 if you really want to auto-land..  Since I"ve added it RTL and auto-land have worked very well.

    Curious to know as well.  I hope someone who knows will respond, but I'll take a look at the code tomorrow to see if I can figure out what controls that.
