I’m flying an Opterra, 6ft wing. This is a tractor configuration and is a belly lander. I am using q ground control for my ground control station and I have an Ark electronics Pixhawk board with px4 .15 firmware.
I have a pitot Air speed sensor and downward facing lidar for terrain detection. I have it working very well in auto mode and am preparing for my first Auto landing. I am trying to find a way to stop the motor spinning sometime around the flare so when I land on the belly I don’t get a prop strike but I can not find any sort of glide command. What options do I have?
@ryanjAA do you have any advice here?
Interesting. This used to be easy but throttle cut at alt during landing was removed (during the landing 1.14 refactor).
Ok, there’s obviously still a use case for it. We should leave it to -1 for disable (that used to mean 2/3 of flare alt for throttle cut).
@james_sawyer can you open a git issue. This wouldn’t be too big a deal to put in.
