HELP! Drone going right in AUTO mode Almost lost quad

You did a E-stop and Autotune didnt finish - did it crash? I couldnt see an obvious reason.
You dont have battery voltage and current monitoring configured - that will be essential for proper tuning and reliable flight.
Some people would say that battery monitoring has nothing to do with reliable flight, but in reality you’ll be able to see in logs if operation is changing, like battery aging, or payload having more effect than expected.

At minimum set Battery Monitor to 9 (ESC) and set the voltage failsafes and actions.

Yes Exactly I had a real hard time landing. And had a bad landing stage I crashed the quad onto the floor and immediately motor interlocked. I’m actually reading those data but not with the battery monitor I’ll configure it right away .But in overall what do you think about this quad @xfacta

It’s hard to say at the moment. that battery data is fairly vital, and need to see a nice flight after autotune completes.

If the battery monitor isn’t configured then these don’t function:
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MAX
MOT_BAT_VOLT_MIN

It was flying great as we could see with our eyes but it still need some tuning. Here is the link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1SHmgnCbEY8i4lRdrI-cH9gnGn9uUjRw-?usp=sharing

No idea what that log is supposed to show. I don’t think this is doing you any good:
MOT_PWM_MAX,2000
MOT_PWM_MIN,2000

No Dynamic Notch Filter?

Looks like you are going backwards or this is the wrong log.

So here it is guys. The best tune I have ever had :slight_smile: No rain no wind at all just pure 0.075 Autotune aggressiveness and it was hovering so good (As I could see with my eyes and as I could hear with my ears )that I could not speak at all. These values actually made me happy but I’m not sure that is it near to fine tune or what. By the way with the last software update quad is overally doing better.

So we had an Auto test this morning and it was not good at all. But drone was not oscillating as we could see and hear. But Quad was not even moving like it was doing its auto mission in 2 m/s probably and it was not even near the 2000 m/s horizontal target that we choose. No acceleration and no yaw at all. Should I increase the jerk to like 6 or something. Drive Link please take a look at it: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ZyuOtCRlmI0D6eJkBVvJnZfkfh5cYU_H?usp=sharing
@dkemxr @Leonardthall

Increase ANGLE_MAX to 80° and increase WPNAV_JERK. How high will have to be done experimentally. But it will not run at 20 m/s thru that mission in such confined space.

But I have to do a mission which is faster than 25~ m/s. Will increasing acceleration and jerk help me ? @dkemxr

It will help it accelerate faster. Good luck.

Now I’m going to test it with WPNAV_JERK 3 and WPNAV_SPEED 5000 but I’m not sure if my drone can handle more than 45 degrees of angle will it ? @dkemxr your answer is really important. I will go outside for tests. By the way why my quad was doing its mission with nearly 0 acceleration and speed ? @dkemxr @Leonardthall

WPNAV_JERK 5 WPNAV_ACCEL 970 WPNAV_SPEED 2500 LOIT_SPEED 2500 Let’s go

Wow here are some good values here but it can be better I guess. Here is the link please take a look very important right now @dkemxr Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RTlVIuGihhA9tRRZWH3_np_L0Aq_zZlf?usp=sharing

Today we had our first race and it was awful. I really dont know what happened but somethings off and quad just went straight into RTL mode. Here is the link but I could not find out what happened at all. Awful situation please take a look at it @dkemxr @amilcarlucas @Leonardthall @rmackay9 Is it something about 4.1.0 probably ? Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/12i2zM-jjb5PcBhscVHlE6QYZru_Idr0P?usp=sharing

Why not? It’s right in the log. RTL from radio failsafe because you have FS_OPTIONS at 0.

Okay, I set the FS_OPTIONS 1 as you said .I thought that setting the failsafe option as “Enabled continue with Mission in AUTO mode “ from the failsafe screen was enough. But it turns out that it was not. Anyways am I over this crisis ? If I’m I will go for another race @dkemxr

I didn’t say 1, set it to 19. And if you ask “is that safe” I don’t have an answer for you other than to point you to the Wiki:

FS

I dont use a telemetry radio so I can not set GCS Failsafe I guess. But lets talk about the quad’s overall performance. How much should I increase acceleration and Jerk based on the tuning level of this quad @dkemxr

Increase ANGLE_MAX and increase Jerk. I can’t tell you how high this has to be done experimentally.
