"Hi Guys,
In this version as in previous, Condition_Change_Alt not working. I make param 1 15 cm/sec,
and param 2 an altitude (say 600 ft) which is supposed to be the end condition. I write the WPs.
When I read the WPs back, it keeps the 15 but…"

Hi,I put "do_jump" into my command list.Has no effect. Thoughts?Condition_change_alt and condition_delay alsodo not work.v. 1.2.20.Also, since I used the Loiter command once,every time I fly a new mission (even without loiter commands),when the…

make hitting altitude the first flight priority."

"In the advanced parameter list, change Alt_Ctrl_Alg to 1. This tells Ardu to make reaching altitude
the top priority. (Don't forget to write the new param list).
Also, make Lim_Pitch_Max = 90. This will allow a steep climb.
Good luck!"

Hi,So happy to find you folks! I've been working on thisproject for 6 months, after a successful "regular" balloon launch.Any comments much appreciated...My half-ideas are as follows:In the parameter file, set "Throt_Max" to 0. The RC hasto glide…
"Hi -- try one of the param file I have attached.
Take off in manual -- get it level. Then switch to stabilize, and see how it works.
If good, put the airplane back on the ground, set a few simple waypoints in the
flight planner, take off in…"

Hi,My half-ideas are as follows:In the parameter file, set "Throt_Max" to 0. The RC hasto glide home due to power constraints, until it is visibleto the pilot, who will then switch it to manual and land it.I don't know how the condition commands…
Hi,Any idea when the Do_Set_Parameter commandis due to be implemented?Thanks!--David
"More -- when i set do_control_speed to 0,1,1 (airspeed, 1 m/s, 1% throt), and had it fly
to a waypoint at the same altitude it started at, it did fine until it started to stall
(ie, it glided with no throt). Then it went nuts trying to right…"

Hi,Anyone know the current statusof this command? I noticed inthe past there were a few bugs.When I try using in the sim,it seems to have no effect at all,or (once) it had an erratic effect...Thanks!--David
"Tried deleting install, and reinstalling. Got v 1.2.19. Same errors. Now trying to re-update to 1.2.20."
"Hi Earl and Company!
A few questions about your Ardu / balloon

How are you planning to activate the Ardu. In my
vision, as the balloon carries it up, it is inactive. Upon

How are you going to program Ardu to get home

"Hi Earl -- Is this the X8? (Your version minus motor): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIg6u6zgcNc&list=PL036E49765D41E...
I too was thinking a fixed wing glider was the best design for
high altitude...
