Perhaps this can be done by changing the battery failsafe in mission planner, has anyone tried that? Battery Failsafe — Copter documentation

Currently the Solo will initialize RTL sequence when the battery reaches 10%. Is there any way to change this in the settings or parameters via Mission Planner so that the drone is commanded to Land where it is instead of RTL when it at 10% battery?

I flew it with a gopro on a survey flight done with mission planner. However, I can't autotag the images in mission planner because the number of photos taken doesn't match the number of triggers in the log file.

Thanks, I will make sure to do that.

I see, thanks. I don't use the solex app. We are controlling entirely from Mission Planner and the controller. Is there a parameter I can set in Mission Planner to then change the function of the A and B buttons? I can change and write parameters to the drone, as we had to do that to install the...

Thanks for the reply! It is running Arducopter 3.5 with the pixhawk GreenCube. How to I tell what the B button is set for? I think the A button is set for Auto, it will run the auto waypoints sent to the drone in MissionPlanner. What happens when I hold the Fly button? During the flight the...

Hello, We ran into a bit of a mishap when flying our Solo. We had the Solo on an automatic mode (grid survey). When we set it to return to home, the solo flew up and then kept flying up and up and up. It didn't know it was already 50 ft off the ground. The reason? Well, we are using a Lidar...

Hello, I am trying to geotag images taken with the Solo in Mission Planner but am having some trouble figuring out the proper time offset. I'd like to geotag using a time offset in mission planner. My question is how to I find out the current Solo time used in the data logs in order to identify...

Great, thank you. I saw P2P's github page and just ordered the Green Cube. It looks like exactly the solution I am seeking. I hope it works!

I would like to upgrade my Solo so it can perform a grid survey from a specific distance of 2-3 meters from the ground. I have successfully installed a laser altimeter on the Solo, however it can not be used to control the flight path with the current firmware. I know that Arducopter-2.4 has...

So will LIDAR work in Auto mode in AC3.4? If so, is it possible to beta test? We are going to deploy a drone in the field tomorrow for a survey, and were hoping to test this capability.

I see that in AUTO mode (Auto Mode — Copter documentation), it says that it incorporates altitude control from ALTHOLD mode, and on the AltHold mode page (Altitude Hold Mode — Copter documentation), it says that below 26 feet, sonar will be used if it is installed and enabled. So should auto...

These parameters seem to be for optical flow sensors. I only have a LIDAR unit, not an optical flow sensor, so I'm not sure it would work, and I would not want to disable GPS for optical flow without a full optical flow sensor. I would just like to use the LIDAR instead of the barometer for...

Is that true in both the Tower App and the Mission Planner PC program? And is that changeable by setting any of the parameters franknitty69 mentioned?

I have the following: RNGFND_MIN_CM = 5 RNGFND_MAX_CM = 12000 RNGFIND_GAIN = 0.8 RNGFIND_GNDCLEAR = 7 I set groundclear to 7 as it reads 3 to 10 cm as the sonar range when the drone is on the ground. I am thinking that the RNGFIND_GAIN parameter may be too low to adjust the height when just...
