Starting up in auto mode

Hi All,
just finishing up my antenna tracker build using a pixracer and PT785-S pan/tilt mechanism. Everything is working great but I’m wondering if I can set up the tracker so I don’t need a laptop at all.
Currently I start up the tracker and arm it with the safety switch, then I need to connect with Mission Planner to set the tracking mode. I use the ESP8622 wifi module of the pixracer to connect to MP, which works fine, but it’s a bit clunky. Ideally I’d like to just have it go directly into Auto mode when it arms, then into Scan if it loses the vehicle. Is there a simple way to do this?

Cheers,
Adam

Ok, noob error here. With the mavlink radio running and connected it just drops into Auto mode itself. No mission planner required! Problem solved.
