I think we need @P2P for this one...
I was flying a very reliable Solo the other day using Tower on a mission, battery is relatively new to service with only 10-15 flights.
Shortly after reaching 50m and heading to the next waypoint at 10m/s, Tower said "battery at -1%".
And something just seemed wrong...
So I hit the PAUSE button on the controller.
Immediately the Solo shot back towards me, holding altitude. According to Tower, it was in Altitude Hold mode (not Loiter, not RTH). I believe the controller displayed MANUAL.
I was fighting the controls, and trying to put it into FLY mode.
I still had a good GPS sat count and HDOP.
Then, Tower barked out "EKF VARIANCE".
I was fighting it and eventually got it into FLY mode.
Brought it down.
Accidentally hit RTH and it started to rise--so I hit PAUSE then FLY.
Landed safely. Stress!!!
But now I am wondering just what the heck happened.
Can someone check the log and see what they can find?
Here is a link on Dropbox (too large to attach here)
PS: Not sure this means anything, but earlier in the day I was flying a different quad (APM/Pixhawk) using USB telemetry rather than UDP. That quad for some reason won't display battery percentage, but the Solo does (and Solo did properly display batt percent when it took off).
