Auto takeoff traditional helicopter

Posted by Michel Cote on October 9, 2013 at 4:54am

Hi,

I tried yesterday the auto takeoff and I was able to make it work but I wish for something even more automated trough the mission planner.

1- I use the esc governor and I would need a longer delay. Instead of 5 seconds I need at least 15 seconds. I understand it's hard coded. Can someone help me on this.

2- I need for take off to be able to press un simple button on the mission planner. Something like DJI ace waypoint have. an (takeoff + auto) like button.

I beleive that I can use the Auto button. The problem is if I use the Auto button on the mission planner I get only 5 second before takeoff with is not enough for the esc to spool up the motor. I wish not use the internal governor.

Thanks for your help

Michel

    Which code are you using exactly?  I think I pretty much have it done the way you want in my branch, but trunk is pretty far behind unfortunately.  I'm surprised about the hard-coded 5 second delay you mention, because I believe even that is not in 3.0.1 yet.  In my branch, it was 5 seconds hard-coded, but about a month ago I made it a parameter so you could change it.

    As for your point #2, that could happen, but I don't think we're there yet.  This will require some work with the MP developer.
