Flight mode not change when activated in APM Planner 1.1.96

Posted by Dzalwawlam on July 12, 2012 at 12:32am

Hi..i try to change my flight mode to "Auto" for auto takeoff but nothing happened. When i check using telemetry i noticed that the flight mode does not change even after the "Auto" mode is triggered using CH5. It still show "Stabilize". I tried reprogram the APM1 but the result is still the same. There are several modes that showed "stabilized" even the selected mode is triggerd - AUTO, GUIDED and OTHERS except ACRO, ALT_HOLD and STABILIZE. Is there any changes that i should do. Anyone please help

Frame: Quad

Board: APM1

Firmware: 2.6

Yes, it won't go into Auto mode if you don't have a GPS Fix.

Dror: I agree.

It's a safety measure to prevent fly-aways.

The HUD show´s "no fix" for GPS, you need a GPS 3D fix for the other modes.
