How to set home position

1

Hi!
I try to set home position using mavlink command MAV_CMD_DO_SET_HOME
Command accepted and executed, but home position doesn’t changed. MAVLINK_STATUS_TEXT displays old home position. What i’m doing wrong?
mavlink_message_t msg;
mavlink_command_long_t cmd;
cmd.command = (uint16_t)MAV_CMD_DO_SET_HOME;
cmd.param1 = 1.0f;
cmd.param2 = 0.0f;
cmd.param3 = 0.0f;
cmd.param4 = 0.0f;
cmd.param5 = lat;
cmd.param6 = lon;
cmd.param7 = alt;
cmd.target_system = ProtocolIDs::mavlinkVehicleID;
cmd.target_component = ProtocolIDs::mavlinkCompID;
mavlink_msg_command_long_encode(ProtocolIDs::mavlinkSysID, ProtocolIDs::mavlinkCompID, &msg, &cmd);

PX4 Firmware: 1.5.5

I have changed cmd.param1 = 0 but nothing

Not sure where you’re sending it from, but cmd.target_component might be wrong. Try 0 or 1 there.

Problem solved. cmd.target_component = 1, cmd.target_system = 1. Thanks!

One more question: what is the altitude of this command? Absolute (AMSL) or relative (AGL)? There is no information on this in the documentation.
