Title: Revolution and altitude vario/hold
Post by: startrek66 on June 23, 2016, 08:49:59 pm
Hi. I have a question about the flight mode in subject. These mode are not Dipendent from gps system?
Thanks

No need GPS.

Take a look here:

I've another question about this fligh mode....roll yaw and pitch are  functioning during altitude hold or vario?

Sure, it's better if the pilot keep control over his vehicle.

Ok. Absolute yes.

Concerning calibration in gcs for this particular flight mode, I read that is necessary have done temperature calibration. It is true?
I don't it!
Another, there are some parameters in GCS altitude hold page control coefficient that require some adjustments?
thank you for your patience.

Altitudehold can work without any calibration. The thermal calibration, if done correctly can improve barometer drift due to temperature.

Yes, can need some adjustments because weight over thrust can vary.

Altitude vario tested with success. I have modified the throttle curve, in the centre is flat. It's a good choice for these  flights modes?

I do the same (flatten throttle curve where I hover) to increase resolution in the middle it's easier for me that way to set stick to hover.

Hi guys
Today tested altitude hold flight mode. Negative result. I engage the mode but the quad not lock the altitude and thrust stick was always operative. Which is my error or errors?

I checked the baro sensor with scope in gcs and is ok.

Wrong flightmode ?

Hi guys
Corcerning my problem on altitude hold, it's normal that with altitude hold engaged I can takeoff?

Nothing normal, AltitudeHold maintain altitude and Throttle has no effect.

Are you sure the flight mode switch works ?
You can move the switch and check the flight mode position in GCS: Input tab or PFD

You have right!
The switch not work properly. I have re-calibrated the transmitter switch.
I check and it's impossible perform a t/o with Altitude Hold engaged.
I'll test this with a flight.

I ran a quick test in a few minutes flight to verify that the flight mode altitude hold is inserted.
Ok, it works.
Probably flying the quad will of vertical oscillations; to what extent these oscillations can be considered acceptable ?
I set the altitude hold parameters according to this guide (see attachment)

Try setting AltitudeFilterSettings > BaroKp to 0.02

Here is a video from test i did with this settings:

Thannk's for info.
This parameters

AltitudeFilterSettings > BaroKp to 0.02

set the sensibility of Barometers?
Title: Re: Revolution and altitude vario/hold
Post by: f5soh on July 16, 2016, 07:51:26 pm
Not the sensibility but better filtering

Test flight with positive result. :)
With altitude hold engaged and without comand (pitch, roll or yaw) the quadcopter mantain the quote with minor oscillations.
When apply pitch and roll the quadcopter  loses altitude but not in a major way.
My question is:

If the quadcopter loses altitude, the Revolution tries to recover the initial altitude (when the altitude hold is engaged)?

Regards

Yes, altitude target 'stored' still the same.
