Hello all,
I am not sure this is the right place. Please do not hesitate to move this thread to the correct section.
Ive spent the last day trying to understand whats wrong here for the 3 subjects below, with no luck. My hair is falling and my patience is coming down to nihil. I think I need some help. Can some one assist and help me understand:
-why isnt my multicopter takeing off when switched to AUTO mode and first WP is a takeoff command?
-why isnt my multicopter flying AUTO mode in direction to first waypoint?
-when RTL is switched, why is the copter flying away instead than back to me?
-why didnt the FLIP mode work? Copter rocketed to the sky, banked hard right and I had to correct so not to lose it in the trees.
fyi, copter flies fine in stabilised mode, flies fine in alt hold, but flies away on pos hold.
Sat lock is solid. Wind is low. Sonar and optic flow are installed.
You will find attached and below

The comments from http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_OptFlow seem to indicate the optflow is messing up with the loiter/pos hold (and thus auto) and making the frames go in huge circles.
I agree with that. When I disable the device, everything goes as planned... with GPS precision though (1-2 meters), but as planned.
Oh, sorry.
I didn't say "Pleeease" .
Some one?
Please?
I likewise have not been able to get my copter to take off with the takeoff command. If I takeoff myself to just above the ground and then hit Auto then it'll "takeoff" and do the rest of the mission.
The only reason I can think of not flying to the first waypoint or not RTL is no 3D lock on the APM. If I have 3D lock then RTL comes back to where 3D lock was first obtained.
