Here some videos samples of 8 full AUTO-LANDING tests flights that I have done with the firwmare ArduCopter v2.4xp1 (JLN mod). I have updated the official ArduCopter v2.4 firmware with a special Auto-Landing mod that I have developped and tested successfully in the previous v2.2xp2 release.

In the video you will see, full tests of the:
- STABILIZE mode (full manual flight evolutions),
- LOITER mode (GPS position hold),
- and 4 samples of FULL AUTO-LANDING with the v2.4xp1

The quadcopter is firstly set in LOITER mode and then the AUTO-LANDING is trigged by the Switch 7 of the transmitter. Setup: ArduPilot Mega v2 + Firmware ArduCopter v2.4xp1, Frame: Quadcopter DJI F450 Flame Wheel (X mode)

Here some videos samples of full AUTO-LANDING tests flights in HIL mode on AeroSIM-RC 3.83 with a Raptor 30 type helicopter (H1) done with the firwmare ArduCopter v2.4xp2 (JLN mod).  The official v2.4 firmware has been updated with a special Auto-Landing mod which uses only the BARO sensor. Tested with an ArduPilot Mega v1.4 connected in HIL mode on AeroSIM-RC v3.83 through the APM Mission planner.

    Thanks Marco, you may play with the Raptor 30 and test the AUTO-LANDING on AeroSIM with my new mod 2.4xp2 HERE 

    You will be very surprised by the LOITER efficiency and the AUTO-LANDING in STRONG WIND... Give a try...

    Hello James,

    The flying time of my quad without the GoPro is about 10 minutes and about 8 minutes with the GoPro on board.

    I am using 3S 2200 mAh Lipo Battery Turnigy NanoNech

    Hello Rui,

    I am glad to see that your auto-landing work fine with the tuned P1,P2 parameters for your heavy quad.

    Sorry for your car crash, I hope that you will soon repair it.

    Regards, Jean-Louis

  • I'm sorry for you

  • My auto landing is just fiiiiiiiine :D thanks JLN. I used P1 at 100 and P2 at 90 (1.6kg quad with 930kv motors and 12x3.8 props) If all goes well, tomorrow I'll make a video of auto landing. My tests today were ruined because of a small crash due to too high RATE P and after that... a car crash... shity day. :)

  • What  is the flying time on this copter?

    @Ruwan: Accellerometers are not used in this case of auto-landing but they may be taken in account in the calculation in a future release...
