Advanced failsafe on APM 2.6

ArduPlane Plane 3.3
1

Hi everyone,

After going through the forum and the support website, I’m a little confused about the Advanced Fail safe features discussed here:

plane.ardupilot.com/wiki/advance … iguration/

My question is, how do I go about using those features on an APM 2.6 running the Arduplane firmware? I know its on by default in 32 bit autopilots and the documentation mentions something about “recompiling the firmware youself” in order to use these features on the APM 2.6. How do I go about this?

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Ah I just noticed the miscellaneous forum down the bottom, can someone move this topic there? Thanks.

you would need to enable it in APM_Config.h by adding
#define OBC_FAILSAFE ENABLED

unfortunately you may find the fw becomes too large for an APM2. I would strongly suggest you get a 32 bit board such as a Pixhawk

Ahh that’s what I was afraid of. I would’ve preferred a newer autopilot but unfortunately I’m working with what I’ve been given. Thanks for your help.
