Title: waypoint mode not working
Post by: DocHardinger on January 17, 2017, 07:50:26 pm

I built up a revo with gps and did all calibrations. Seems that all worked fine. I also did the transmitter wizard with my taranis. Worked also fine. But when i put the revo on top of my cat (her name is Molli by the way) waypoint mode seems not to work! The cat runs everywhere but not even touching my teached waypoints. And sometimes there is a strange sound coming out of it...meow meow

Can anyone please help?

Hope some fun is allowed ;-) otherwise just delete this post...wont happen again :-)

Are you sure you hooked each servo out connector to the proper arm or leg?   The meow noise is caused by mis-configuring the battery (food) sensor.

You can't switch attitude mode off, Cats always have an attitude.

Tried external mag? Consider mounting on a 13 cm pole?
Got similar problem with 450 sized Chinese dog  :o
Does LibrePilot have any plans to fix the GroundPathFollower module for these frames?

Hmmm.  Someone needs to develop an FPV helmet and RC radio pedals for a cat.  Mount all that and you are sure your quad would be self leveling.
