RTL issues

Posted by Vernon Lillies on December 11, 2011 at 11:33am

Hi all,

I am currently experiencing a strange problem. When I try entering RTL mode, I am immediately switched to loiter mode.

Here is a pic to illustrate:

I have GPS lock and have set my home location.

When I call upon RTL, my copter begins to loiter at its current location.

I am using Arducopter 2.0.55, APM 1280, mission planner 1.1.2 and stock mediatek GPS.

Any advice or similar experiences? 

Kind Regards,

Vernon

    If you are near the target (WP_RADIUS_DEFAULT = 3 meters), RTL switches automatically to LOITER.

    This probably what you are experiencing.

    Correct?

    are you switching using your transmitter switch
    or the mode change command on the pc?
