Changing fail-safe behaviour

ArduCopter

Hey there,

I’m about to build my first drone with ardupilot. Yhanks to all the contributots online there are planty of tutorials on how it’s done. Yet, I failed to find answers to some of the questions I have.

Right now I’m interested in modifying the fail-safe behaviour when losing the rc signal.

Let’s say, if the rc signal is lost, I want my drone to start moving north for 10 minutes.

Is there any way to create such custom fail-safe scenarios?

You could use a LUA script which you’d have to invent, or set a Rally point

There’s a dead-reckoning script that may have some usable ideas:

libraries/AP_Scripting/applets/copter-deadreckon-home.lua
