Small issue I discovered. Bare with me for a min while I try to explain everything.
My Solo is running 1.5.2 (just havent updates to .3 yet.) and Im driving thru the Rockies in CO. I pulled off to fly the solo at a nearby RC airfield and upon everything connected, and ready to fly, the motors wouldn't arm. The controller had a 0.7 HDOP and was "ready to fly". Neither Fly or Manual Fly would work. I was using an Nvidia Shield K1 tablet with the Solo APP. Each attempt to arm the motors resulted in the solo arm fail tone. I then tried Tower which connected fine. Upon an Arm motor attempt with tower, the solo arm fail tone continued but the error Tower produced was "Altitude launch ceiling exceeded". I was just over 9k' elevation near a lake.
I searched only for the parameter that controls this AFS and found one in the Pixhawk parameter list. Upon searching for the same (or similar) parameter with Tower in the solo parameters, nothing could be discovered. I then contacted 3DR support and asked them which parameter controlled this and/or which altitude is the ceiling. I never received this info but was told that I'd need to factory reset the solo and controller, perform the mandatory update, and then attempt again.
I don't want to revert FW back to an older version honestly, but the tech said that v1.5.2 was the cause of this symptom.
Does anyone know what the actual launch ceiling is? And which parameter controls this FS? And if it's even editable in Tower, or do I need another application to get to this parameter?
Thanks in advance.
PS, I ran searches for this, and read this entire thread. Could not find anything that way.
Hmm...interesting. I'll do some research and get back.
