So just a couple of questions based on what I have seen in my logs for my hexa.
I see these messages
So teh first message I don’t understand. 09:00:35 Mode change failed: POSHOLD requires position
Its clear from the log that at the point where this error is thrown there are 13 satellites…while not the total I would normally get…There is enough that it should know where it is.
The second set of messages that I don’t understand.
So of course this is obviously reporting incorrectly…I didn’t land with the gear up…so whats wrong here. Perhaps I have some config issue that I don’t know about.
|09:01:30|LandingGear: RETRACT|
|09:01:37|LandingGear: DEPLOY|
|09:02:15|LandingGear: RETRACT| I notice that in my second flight I get these messages.
|09:07:50|LandingGear: DEPLOY|
|09:08:00|LandingGear: RETRACT|
|09:08:05|LandingGear: DEPLOY|
|09:08:15|LandingGear: RETRACT|
So clearly its reporting the opposite to whats actually taking place. I wonder if the gear connections are reversed.
Lastly. Why would I be doing a prearm check if I am in the air with my gear retracted.
|09:02:49|PreArm: EKF2 Roll/Pitch inconsistent by 75 deg|
Number of sats is not necessarily a good indicator of 3D fix - I use HDOP <1.0 although there’s almost no one parameter to look at.
I always have:
FENCE_ACTION,3
FENCE_ALT_MAX,120
FENCE_ENABLE,1
FENCE_MARGIN,5
FENCE_RADIUS,600
FENCE_TYPE,3
…and then you cant arm and take off in any mode until there’s a 3D Fix. Check the altitude and radius settings to suit yourself.
Landing gear will just be a case of working through the Servo settings and Landing Gear settings. Maybe just SERVOx_REVERSED,1 will fix it.
Check you Landing Gear RC input channel (CHx_OPT,29) goes above 1800 pwm for LG deployed, then set the Servo settings to suit physical deployment.
