WP Speed Question

Hi Guys,

Its just a quick couple of questions but i couldn't find the answers anywhere :(

I have ran a few missions and all bar the first have gone really well (first failed due to me not double checking all the parameters). I will be attempting my first spline waypoint mission on friday and am just in the process of setting it up. Under the parameter tree i have WP Speed set to 300 cm/s which has worked fine on previous missions. I am now using a spare channel on my remote to channel 6 on the apm and i have set this to control the WP Speed on the extended tuning page. Now i assume the minimum and maximum underneath the drop down are min and max speeds and i am assuming that they are in m^s-1 as when i tryed to put 25 and 700 as the min and max it replaces 700 with 32.76 which i can only assume is the maximum speed in ms^-1? (i initially thought the units would be cms^-1 like elsewhere)

My other question is now i have this set up on the extended tuning screen how will having WP Speed set to 300cms^-1 affect it? Will it now be ignored? If it will be an issue how do i get around it?

I am running 3.2.1

Thanks in advance

  • I fell foul of that issue too. The units aren't scaled the same for channel 6. I can't remember the multiplier but I think it was a factor was a factor 1000. Try dividing the chan 6 limits you set by 1000 and test by refreshing. If not 1000 try 100 and 10 etc

    • Thanks, i now have them set as 0.25 and 7 which hasnt thrown up any weird values so im hoping that is right however it would be nice to know what is actually correct before flying. Also if i want the speed to be 7ms for example will the actual top speed be limited by angle_max?
