Hi all !
I am a noooob and had quites some losses while learning stuff…
Now my first (probably cryppa) Hexacopter flies quite well.
So i am trying to safe my investments and worked on Failsafe mode.
I DO have a Turnigy 9x but the missing Failsafe capability has been compenated for by a cheap failsafe module on Throttle channel.
So i tried it out. Set Failsafe to RTL, waited for GPS fix, started and switched off remote…
The Hexa came back to launch position, hovering in the desired 15m (now i set that to 25m due to very tall trees around).
But it lotered “forever” (waited 20secs as i found the value to be set to 5000 msecs = 5 secs before it SHOULD land).
The final heigth was set to “0” so in my usnderstanding it should try to land.
Probabyl i overlooked something, can someone lend me a hand whats wrong (in my setup or brain).
Jeps, if you set this to zero, the copter should RTL, hover for 5 secs and then land.
However, In another thread, Randy was describing a bug where the copter would NOT start to land after 5 secs but - if so at all - after a much longer time. It seems, you caught that bug too.
To be sure, could you do a test - take off, fly a few meters away and then hit RTL and wait if it starts landing after a longer time. Please use a battery monitor and land manually if the alarm goes off .
I have edited your original topic title so it’s easier to find this specific issue.
I tried out the advised workaround and it worked, although my craft looked a bit nervous while landing.
Will fiddle with those parameters and report my success !
(In THAT thread, not here).
