Autotakeoff question

Posted by heliotrope on May 9, 2015 at 11:23pm

When you do auto takeoff (i.e. pressing the launch/takeoff button) via Tower:

a) Does your system switch into guided?

b) Can you set the default altitude?  I'd like it to come up to only about 20 feet. 

Thanks!

    Heard back from 3DR.  There is no way to adjust the autotakeoff altitude, as it simply makes a waypoint and guides to it.  No big deal.

    I use to use this until the time I forgot to clear the prior way points. It lifted up about 3 feet and then slammed itself into the nearest building at full throttle.Expensive lesson. But to answer your question, yes. Mission Planner has a default takeoff altitude setting, but it's based on your current home way point.

    The answer to a) is yep, it goes into guided mode on the way to a automatically set waypoint.  b) I haven't figured out yet.
