Amount of overshoot with simple geofence

ArduCopter

Hello all,

I’m flying ArduCopter v3.6.8 with a simple geofence enabled (cylindrical fence). I’m interested in quantifying the amount of overshoot past the geofence. Is there a logged signal that tells me this? If not, it’s easy enough to calculate it based on the home location, geofence parameters (radius) and UAV position.

Also, what is the signal I should look for to indicate a geofence breach occurred in the log data?

Thanks!

There shouldn’t be any, ideally. The vehicle should reduce its velocity
automatically and not breach the fence.

I think you get to do the leg-work on that one yourself…

We log fence breaches into ERR.

Sounds good - Thanks Peter!
