Heading automatically in flight direction

Hi,

I get my 450 ready and did some first test flights. Pretty well.

I understand that I have to type in the heading for each waypoint in the MP when I what to move the heli with the head towards the next waypoint. But what about RTL. I can´t set a heading here, right? So the heli will return to home with which heading? The one when I switch to RTL or the one where I startet?

Is it possible to set something like auto-heading. So that the head always point towards the next waypoint?

Thank you.

  • Ok, compiling works. But I get some orange warnings.

    And where are the compiled files? Whats next?

  • Yes, if you're running 2.8.1, it should look at home when you do a RTL.  I changed that for helicopters only just before 2.8.1 came out.

  • Just a newbie here, but if you don't provide a heading then the multirotor points to the next waypoint.  I think it works like this, but I haven't tested it - If you want to point somewhere else, like a long sideways pan, then you enter the heading you want the multi to point at.  So if I am flying N to S and enter a heading of 90, then the multicopter will point east between the two waypoints.

    Oliver,

          It should always point towards the next waypoint and during RTL it should point towards home.  Hopefully that's the behaviour you're looking for.
