A little hop on autolanding

Posted by Edgar Scott on September 25, 2013 at 4:55pm

Did a full automated flight, take off waypoints and then land

It went pretty well but the landing did a little hop after touchdown.

At the end it went to the RTL position, came down smooth to about 3 feet from the ground, then it oddly did a little pause at 3feet, lifted an inch, then proceeded to land the last 3 feet. After touchdown it went up about half  foot then touchdown again and shut off motors.  I reset and tried again, same exact thing happened, 100% exact replication.

So I am thinking I did my plan wrong, after Last waypoint I did a RTL, then I told it to LAND

Maybe I did not need the last "LAND" command?  RTL would have landed it?  The manual does not mention it.

    There's an RTL_ALT_FINAL parameter that you can set to zero and then it will just land at the end of RTL.  With that you could remove the loiter time and land commands.
