Just wondering if this will also be included or is this something already possible?
In-case you lost signal or became out of range, the quad would slowly descend and land using sonar etc.
Also in a low battery condition, etc...
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!

As far as I know it is already possible but not implemented nor on the roadmap (on the latter I am maybe wrong)
Not easy to implement but possible. If I am not wrong the ArdupiratesNG code has a failsafe function that activates GPS and Altitude Hold once the connectioon with the reciever is lost.
This is a basic failsafe function, and I don't think anyone ever tested it.... hehehe :)
I am a bit concerned about auto landing (What if you are on top of some high trees or a small river or a very deep canyon???) the best would be a Return to Home with GPS, and this I think is on its way with the new ArducopterMega code... maybe?
