RTL Triggered after 2 1/2, 3 mins of flight

Posted by Sandy Sound on December 23, 2014 at 6:33am

Hi guys,

RTL is triggering automatically and I don't know why - its not because of low battery or Radio signal loss...

Any ideas? I have attached logs of the last two flights it happened.

Im flying Pixhawk 3DR 2014 Quad kit Stock with Tarot 2D Go Pro Gimbal.

Cheers,

Sandy

You have RTL enabled for your battery at a voltage of 10.5 volts and a mAH of 983. It appears you tripped it based upon voltage.

  Hi Tom - Thanks for that - I will recalibrate my voltage sensor as the battery is nowhere near that. Thanks man!

    Do you think those are conservative levels for the battery failsafe? I want to leave some room for RTL mode to complete without damaging the battery...

      Personally I try to be in process of actually landing when I hit 3.5 volts per cell (10.5 for 3S). 10.8 volts gives some margin to return. Since I use an OSD I monitor the voltage myself and have my battery failsafes turned off.
