Waypoints deleted on entering AUTO mode

The rover works well in STEERING and MANUAL mode. The problem seems to be with some failsafe or error in AUTO mode.

I set waypoints and write them to my rover from within Mission Planner, while in MANUAL. When I read them back, everything seems fine. When I try to read them after toggling to AUTO, though, all of my waypoints are gone. No such problem if I write them to the rover in AUTO mode and then toggle back to MANUAL.

I think the missing waypoints are causing my rover to enter HOLD mode instead of AUTO.

Any idea what might be causing Mission Planner to erase my waypoints?
Thanks!

Worth noting: After a few tries where nothing out of the ordinary seemed to happen, I started getting this error.
“There was an unexpected error.”
When I clicked “more information,” the popup read “Timeout on Read- GetRequestedWPNo…etc”

Still having trouble with this issue. -4/2/17

That is a peculiar error. I’ll try to replicate that behavior but I haven’t had any problems to date.

Thanks, Grant.
