Setting Home location

Posted by Hai Tran on August 9, 2011 at 7:13pm

Can someone please clarify how the home position is set on APM?

 

I know on ACM that home is set on Arming motors on the arducopter, but I'm not sure how its done on APM.

 

Also is there a way of initialising the gyros after power on?  On recent releases of ACM its done on arming the motors and can be intialised by holding left rudder zero throttle for a period of time.

 

The reason why I ask this is that with a plan its likely to be powered up in the pits then taken to the runway for take off.

    Hi, have been playing with the mission planner program while waiting for the parts to arrive. Why is it that I cannot set the home position? Must the program be linked to the APM 2.5 before it can be set?

    Thanks.

    Hi Hai

     

    I normally set my Home Position by clicking "Home Location" in the Planner. This then sets my home position in the pits. i then move the home position to the Centre of the runway by dragging it with the mouse. When you then "Write WP" it sets in the correct waypoint
