does Arduplane engage throttle in RTL/Loiter/Circle mode while on the bench?

Posted by Oscar on March 4, 2015 at 10:19am

Hello, I'm a bit confused about the throttle control logics here:

 

In auto mode and FBWA modes, the throttle works while the plane is on the bench.

I have it set up to hand launch in auto mode, and i would pretend to throw the plane and the motor would start.

But when I switch it to Circle/Loiter/RTL mode, the throttle cuts off.

 

Is this normal or something is wrong here?

 

I searched everywhere on the net, it seems that some people had the Ch3 reversed, but that would affect the auto mode's throttle too, wouldnt it? as in my case the throttle seems to be working in auto mode.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Oscar

    I think that the logic is suppose to prevent the motor from starting on the ground in any of the auto modes but I could be wrong. I have never tried to hand launch in the auto mode. I always launch in the FBWA mode and switch to auto after it gains some altitude.
