2.9 Auto Landing Test resulted in an almost fly away

Posted by Edgar Scott on January 21, 2013 at 2:39pm

I was able to put in in stabilize and get it back but here is exactly what happened.


I have the latest GPS Mediatek firmware.

1) Took to field.

2) It did all waypoints amazingly great.

3) Landing was a little too fast for my LEGO coptor.

4) Took home and changed LAND_SPEED to 20

5) Flew again, waypoints fine.

Heres where it went wrong.

6) It tried to land, speed did not seem half but not 100% sure.  I noticed it was drifting to the left, the craft came about 1 foot from its landing spot and took back straight up, not fast but throttle up.  I thought it was just going to attempt again because it knew it drifted off.   But after 150-200 or so ft high I got nervous and took back over to stabilize mode.  I am not sure if Cyberdyne activated Skynet but I was not willing to find out.

I have not flown since if you want I can get the logs.

    Here are the logs.

    It almost appears that I went into loiter unless I'm reading it wrong.

    I do remember looking down to make sure the switch was still in Auto but who knows.
