My graduation project is to program a software to detect obstacles and avoid them, on an autonomous drone, controlled by Pixhawk connected to an Intel Edison processor.
On our team we got an IRIS drone, Pixhawk and an Intel Edison processo

I am working on a project where one of my requirements is to have the UAV recover itself during a freefall. Here's the scenario to clarify what I mean...
Say the UAV was dropped from a helicopter or balloon at a high altitude and is in a free fall.
I am building a 650 quad and I am using a hobby King pixhawk type controller. The build went great until I started to configure the flight modes. The mode box will not populate it just show blank boxes. I upgraded my mission planner and loaded 3.2.1

Thanks in advance.
