Title: Auto reduce throtle during 360º flip or roll
Post by: nabreu on February 16, 2016, 01:49:06 am

Hi!

Is it possible to set a way so that the throtle automaticly drops to a certain amount according to the quadcopter rotation or stick input ?

The objective is to not have the need to manually reduce throtle when doing 3D with a quadcopter with fast flips or rolls, and having the controller doing it for you. Something like, if at full or above 90% stick input (Roll or Pitch) the throtle automaticly drops to about 10%

Is it possible ?

I don't fly sport and am just getting my wings under me but it's my understanding that this is exactly what the cruise control throttle setting in the flight modes tab does.

Well, probably but Cruise Control only works with attitude mode. I was holping to use acro+ that is best for 3D / Sport

Have you tried Rattitude?

As far as I know cruise control can be used in rate mode

Acro+ had an issue with Cruise Control when it first came out, but that has been fixed.  Rate was also disallowed when Acro+ problem was found.  Since then it is my understanding that it all works, and Cruise Control works on Rate, Attitude, Rattitude, Acro+

By default settings, CruiseControl reduces motor to 5% when you go past 90 degree bank (past 105 degree actually).

I'm running 15.09 and can't use cruise control with acro plus. On the flight data screen you get a red config and question mark stating "One  stabilized mode use a wrong thrust mode, like CruizeControl with Rate on Pitch/Roll".

The only modes I use are rattitude and acro+.

When I change the trust back to manual in acro+ the red errors are gone, and config is green again.

Yes. That's happening to me also. Is there a workaround ?

I don't know of any workaround, was hoping one of the developers would post something about this.
