RTL options for motor failure

Hi all,

Is there any option in the future to add an amended RTL speed for a motor failure.

With an octacopter, with a motor failure at full speed it becomes unstable.

Obviously with voltage and other reasons you want it to come back at the most efficient speed. With all motors that’s possible. One out that may be impossible for some.

Anyone have any issues like that, instability with a motor failure or at speed with a failure?

You can adjust RTL_SPEED with Lua, IIRC there is a script that detects that thrust loss was detected by the FC.

That would be perfect, any idea where I can find it?

Hi @Jeffuasa,

The Lua scripts are here in the AP_Scripting directory under the “examples” and “applets” folders.

I don’t think we have one that does exactly what you’re looking for so you’d probably need to write something perhaps based on some of these existing examples.
