  AUTO will default to HOLD without a GPS LOCK.
  If that helps?

  Hmmm...I'm running Rover v2.5 right now and trying to set up the mode selection properly. I have it going from Manual to Learning just fine. When I set one of my switches to the proper position for Auto, it shows in the Flight Mode setup screen that I'm on that mode but every indicator of the current mode shows it going to HOLD instead of AUTO. I have no idea why that is and it's giving me fits trying to run an AUTO mission.

  I have my FS Action set to HOLD, have Throttle FS enabled, and all that works great after the 1 second timeout I set it to.

  It doesn't seem to matter what Mode position I put AUTO on (mode 1-6), when I put my switch in the proper position, it always goes to HOLD instead of AUTO.

  Is anyone else having this problem?

  Bo, this is the sonar setup page.  At the moment the sonar's guide the rover to go around an obstacle.  There is no way to do what you ask unless the software is changed.

  Making necessary repairs as we speak. Hoping to map a course tonight to ensure that I meet the 100m mark.

  Kirby G,

      I should be ready by next weekend. :)   I ran a slash 4x4 platinum last year.  I've gone "bigger" this year.   I'm not running any 3dr hardware or software but I wish you best of luck... so long as you are not in doping!  ;)

  Hi Grant, so I tested on RC5 with pass through and servo worked. I found out why it does not work on RC>8 : I forgot my receiver was an 8 channels one and not a 16 channel...oops. 

  I still have a comment and request for modification about a misleading info that made me loose a few hours before I found out another mistake I made: RC servo outputs won't work until the safety switch is on. But before I remembered that the safety switch had to be pressed, I was looking at the real time status of RC out channels and it displayed the right PWM values. So I did not understand why the servo was not moving while the PWM out value was moving ! So my suggestion would be to not display the RC Out channels values unless the safety switch is on. (Or to alternatively warn the user that the safety switch is off and should be on).

  @Hugues.  Try configuring the passthrough on RC8 or lower to ensure your configuration is correct and then re-attempt on RC9-RC10.  I believe it should work but its not something I tried.

  Thanks, Grant.
