I’m using PX4 firmware on a 500mm quadcopter. The problem is it will only run a programmed mission once. I need to unplug the battery to get it to run the same mission again. This is something new since a recent firmware update. Is there a setting that would create this problem?

Can you click on the first mission item in QGC and then go back to mission mode? That should start it from 0.

No. I am using a radio control ground station, not a computer. I use the computer to program and adjust the flight characteristics.

Well, then it’s not possible I’m afraid.
