Luciano Zanchi replied to Luciano Zanchi's discussion FOLLOW ME / LEAD IT on Arducopter V. 3.x in Andropilot Users Group
"Tested today FOLLOW ME with Andropilot and APMcopter V 3.2-rc2 and works great!
Follow Me problems has been solved!
Lead it interval=2 keeps copter very near the moving target (in my case an RC car running on the field) ...so it's very OK!

"@John
Thanks John! I've turned OFF glitch control and log is clean now....but I suspect that turning off glitch control we've turned off error detection too.
BTW in this first flight I have not experienced any fly away even if hdop was very high...…"

I understand your position, but I've done a lot of tests (using different APM, GPS and frames) before posting this strange behaviour that it is hard to understand...that's why I was asking if anybody has the same…"

"Andropilot on board to an hexacopter controls "follow me" auto chasing of a DIY quadcopter with APMcopter 32 on VRBRAIN (v. 3.1.15)
Chasing has some delay as in this first test lead it interval was set to 5 sec and speed to 5 m/s...
...but it works…"

"Updated Mission Planner to last version and found new compassmot function and setting for logs in standard mavlink screen (no CLI). For erase/reset I understand that we must wait for new MP version...but it is not a big problem. Great!"

"Randy has closed the item. For APM and Pixhawk the fix will be included in 3.2!

"A fix for the twitch when new position targets are set through guided mode is in master. This will bve on the to-be-tested list for AC3.2's first release candidate.""

I wonder if this can be a circuvention to this problem.
