I have an RC-controlled boat. However, whenever I power on the boat or launch QGC, I am unable to arm it because it defaults to hold mode.
I need to wait for QGC to load and manually change it to manual mode before I can arm the boat.
Is there a way to set the default mode to manual in QGC so that the RC boat can be armed when powered on?
I’m not very familiar with boats, but in multicopters and planes, if you turn on the RC transmitter before powering the flight management unit (FMU), the FMU will register the mode position that the RC transmitter is set to at the moment of power-on. For example, if the transmitter is set to stabilize mode, the FMU will automatically switch to stabilize mode upon powering up. This can eliminate the need to use QGroundControl (QGC) to switch the mode.
