I’m dealing with EK2 errors that appear to be related to GPS data that fails.
This is primarily an issue with pre-arm checks. But when it happens in test flights in POSITION flight mode, the copter switches to ALTITUDE mode momentarily until the problem clears.
This is exactly the behavior I want - and would be especially helpful when in AUTO flight mode.
When I search for how this behavior is determined (by parameter) all I find is citations that the vehicle would most likely land or return to land. Either of these could be problematic, especially where obstacles exist. But I can’t find reference to a parameter to set this failsafe action.
I’d like greater clarity on what happens with the COM_POS_FS_DELAY parameter.
Specifically:
- What happens during the delay period?
- What failsafe happens? Which is to my point - I can’t find a way to set this failsafe action.
The best option in my opinion is to failsafe to ALTITUDE flight mode. (which it seems to be doing now) Since I’m always flying line-of-sight, this allows me to fly manually back to a safe place to land.
Are there settings that control failsafe actions upon a EK2 or GPS failure? I need to be sure of what the vehicle will do when flying a mission.
Thanks!
