Naza return to home.

[JezUK1]

I was wondering for the DJI return to home Is there a function that you can tell it to gain altitude before returning home and Landing? Or can you only make it turn around and come straight back?

Also is the fail safe the same thing? Plus is I were to lose radio control signal would it realise that and come home?

It automatically climes up, before it returns to launch.

[/quote]  It will return to home and land  if u lost your radio control link only if you have set your reciever failsafes correctly ie rth switch on and throttle to more than 25percent  :D

I believe Naza will climb to 20m before returning to you....unless it's already more than 20m up in which case it just stays at that altitude.

Like Dizzy says - you need to make sure your rx supports a failsafe function, so you can tell you rx to activate RTH if it looses the RC link.

Here's a video of me pooping myself whilst testing my RTH function -

Scary stuff bud, the first time I did my fail safe, it was dark, I didn't realize it went up first, I felt a bit faint I can tell you.

It is super impressive to watch and works great!!

It is sweet, took mine out 600m under the goggles and popped the RTH!

Wow fantastic! Is there a way you can program it so it does something before it comes home for instance get it to gain a certain amount of altitude or can you only use the default settings?

[CurryKitten]

Not with the Naza, as I said it'll rise to 20m before coming home, or if > 20m already just come home at that distance. It's also giving you the chance to reestablish an RC link, there's a pause before each of the phases - so on initial control loss, it'll sit there.. wait, then go up.. wait, then come back, wait and finally land.  I believe the WooKong has the return altitude programmable... but it's lots and lots more money.

Aw we will not be going down more £££ just yet lol. Thanks.

So with planes and return to home how does that work or don't you use the NAZ unit for that?

[CurryKitten]

Naza is a specific multi-rotor flight controller, *most* RTH systems in planes work by taking elevator and aileron control (sometimes throttle) in order to steer the plane back to the original co-ordinates.  Once there, they circle around some way above you.

As far as I know only the APM (ardupilot) can land a plane... although it's not something many have the guts to try, but also works on multis/planes and cars

[JezUK1]

Aww I see that makes sense. Can't say I would like it to auto land a plane lol.

Silly question how can you get ur quad to come home if you lose radio control signal? Would be very handy to have that.

[Oatcake]

You set up a switch on your tx to switch naza into failsafe mode. You then set up your rx failsafe so that it defaults to switching the switch on. You do need a rx with full failsafe though - some just allow you to adjust the throttle channel only.

Simples.

[Skipper Billy]

You also need to 'smart' bind your tx and rx to make it work.

[JezUK1]

What is smart bind?
