Hey Dave! Finally back at it after some time off… I have followed your advice, but running into a bit of a problem.
even though I have set the initial mode to auto it seems to start off in Hold. It might have something to do with not having a “proper” mission with waypoints loaded etc . see: [ArduRover] AUTO Mode switching to Hold Mode?
Just to clarify on what I’m trying to achieve: tow a floating platform with a skid steer setup soemwhere on to a lake, then hit the safety switch and initialize the Auto mode, so that it basically goes straight into Loiter whereever it is. (actually I would like for it to do nothing for 10 seconds and then go into Loiter).
I guess you need to tell the mission to grab some coordinates of the current position , then do Loiter at that position. Would you know how that would look like?
