Hi
I would like to understand more in detail what the reset button does.
The manual (which I have read) says "Press the reset button to restart the board (you must do this every time you change the slider position)".
- Would a power off and power on remove the need to press the reset button?
- Is some data really reset or is the reset button more a reboot button to load either CLI mode or FLY mode software after bootstrap?
The reason why I am asking is that I had problems when setting up my board. After I configured my APM in CLI mode using setup and then radio+modes I switched to FLY mode. By using Mission Planner I then added three waypoints plus the config file for Skywalker.
But it seems like Mission Planner cleared all my settings I did configure in the CLI mode. Modes were now different (no Auto). I checked so the Skywalker config file does not change the FLTMODE* parameters - and it did not.
When I then went back to CLI mode to fix the modes again all waypoints were gone.
Regards,
Jesper

This sounds odd, I haven't had the same experience.
Are you hitting "write WPs" when you're done with WPs? Are you hitting "read WPs" after to check that they got written correctly? Are you hitting enter to save your modes before you reset? How are you testing that your modes work? Remember that you must connect in the mission planner after you switch to flight mode.
