Re: Altitude Hold/Advanced Failsafe solutions by NHA

Hi, Please understand me but I don't want to make any autoland function for RTH only with BARO! My oppinion is that RTH is made for bringing the copter back if any unwanted orientation loss/video signal loss in FPV happens. Once it hovers on a safety altitude over home, control can be given back and...

1.) is more tricky since for me it beeps when entering into hovering. BTW I'll try to find the problem.

Re: Altitude Hold/Advanced Failsafe solutions by NHA

It can be a faulty mag calibration!

You can check in the gui. First, check the 4 major directions, then try to turn the copter aroung roll/pitch by 20-30 degrees and watch the gui. The direction must not change!
