Lots of good info there Dorothy ; -) I like this new mode you added. It gives much greater RTH versatility. Spiral climb is a great idea too. Its just a shame that one of iNav's weak points is its AHRS Nav code. What I mean, is its inability to maintain a constant loiter radius, without drift. INav just won't hold a tight and constant loiter circle. regardless of wind conditions. It drifts considerably compared to many other flight control software's i've used, which have perfect loiter circles, even in high winds with high HDOP. Inav seems to ignore any loiter radius's less than 30m. Its almost like the code is based on multirotor passive course navigation. Rather than being more actively driven to meet the target, as a fixed wing requires. I hope this gets fixed one day, because you guys are making iNav awesome with all it outstanding versatility!
@MrD

Thanks Tom. Yes, I did notice how bad the loiter is while I was testing another change (programmable loiter radius). At larger radii, it loiters at a much smaller circle than it should. I noted this in my PR. But though it better to change it in a separate pull. It would be great to get that sorted. It would also be nice if it auto increases the loiter radii if the model can’t turn as quickly as requested.

I wouldn't worry about 4G to begin with. I know of people travelling much further than 8 miles on LoRa based systems, such as Crossfire, ExpressLRS, and FrSKY R9. In fact, they are all capable of travelling over 7 times that distance. RTH works well. If BVOLS legal in your country. I'd recommend going further gradually. Make sure you're confident that the aircraft is safe, and that it and the components are capable of doing each distance. Test RTH locally to make sure you are happy with how it works and is suitable for your flying environment.

Great video another one to add to my saved list. Would I be correct if say I was flying at 400ft with RTH set at ( at least linear descent) and I hit RTH with a RTH altitude of 300ft and a RTH Home altitude of 100ft my plane will go from 400ft to 300ft and when it reaches home it will loiter at home down to 100ft and hold the 100ft till I switch off RTH?
@MrD
2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Jeremiah. Yes, exactly right. The plane (at 400ft) will start heading home and descending. The aim is to reach 300ft as it arrives home. If it’s too close to home to lose the altitude within limits, it will descend as much as it can within the descent rate parameters. Once its at home and loitering, it will loiter down to 100ft. Then just circle at 100ft til you take over. The exception being if land is enabled, in which case it would land.

@MrD

Hi Mandy. It sounds like you’re mixing up two things here, RTH and Failsafe. RTH can only be tested in flight. You don’t need to turn off the radio. You just switch to the RTH mode. You can test failsafe on the bench. In configurator, at the top there is a small icon of a parachute. When the transmitter is connected, this will be grey. If you switch off the transmitter it should turn res. If it does, failsafe is being correctly detected. The only thing left is to have RTH be used when a failsafe occurs. This is done on the failsafe page and choosing RTH as the failsafe mode. I hope this helps.

Because planes 99.9% of the time are flying forwards. So the heading can be calculated from the track. Quads can fly in any direction. BetaFlight doesn’t use it because it doesn’t really have RTH or proper navigation functions. The rescue features don’t really compare.

Thanks 👍🏻 With the RTH, are you letting the GPS get a 3D fix before arming? If not, it won’t know where home is. Some people suggest setting nav_extra_arming_safety = off. But that is a really bad idea as it allows you to arm and fly without setting a home point. It’s always best to leave this on. Fixed wing doesn’t need compass, so don’t worry about those numbers. It gets the heading from the GPS, based on the course.

What exactly is happening when you fly? What makes you think it’s not taking the right course? Because if you have that many sats, on arming the home point will be stored, and that should be used as the target for RTH. iNav does have blackbox recoding, which you can view using a tool available on the iNavFlight GitHub.

I have had to disarm to avoid a crash/damage of my quad. Are there specific settings to indicate a quad (vs fixed wing)?

To be honest, I’m not a quad guy. As far as I know it should either hover or land when it gets to home. Spiral climb is a fixed wing only setting. If you go in the mixer, it should be set up as a multi-rotor. Maybe it would be handy to have an actual indicator on the setup page. Though, the orientation “box” on that screen will either be a plane, box, or quad.
