cool. Out of curiosity, what are all the yellow stickers all over it?

Thx. I see in your tagline that you use 'Loc8tor Tracker'. Do you have the tag attached to your Spark? how does that effect its flight/flight time? I was thinking of attaching a 'Tile Mate' to my next drone to help find it if I lose it. It works with bluetooth (200 ft range). Is that feasible?

Thanks for the info. Thats an interesting map. Where can I access that map?

Is this true and recommended not to calibrate compass? I thought maybe the issue I had with it going tinto atti mode, was that i did not calibrate the compass prior to launch.

No not that I'm aware of. I store it in its case when not in use.

I launched the Spark from a 6ft plastic folding table that you might find at Home Depot. The underside of the table does have a metal frame, so that could have effected the compass I guess. I will look for the additional log file you mentioned.

I would like to know why it went from waypoints mode to GPS mode, then to atti mode. If I inadvertently hit a joystick, would that immediately stop the mission and put it in atti mode?

I did realize that but I was only flying a quick test 237m / 2 min mission so thought it would be fine.

Do you mean the low power emergency auto RTH won't work? or are you saying even if I hit the manual RTH button, it won't work?

At time 1m 42.6s , the 'Message' column says 'Go home command failed (reason: Execution of this process has timed out).'. Since the battery was still at 15%, I believe that was me pressing the RTH button on the controller (which obviously failed). Any idea why this 'command failed' msg would...

Thank you for that!

Yes it was a bit windy (10-12 mph). I'm trying to figure out the behavior it would have followed. I had SuperPatcher installed with the Smart Battery Mod. The battery last reported at 12%. At what battery percentage would it start the emergency auto landing (if at all)? Or would it just...

Here is the Litchi mission csv i exported from the misson hub. It's just 3 waypoints. Doesn't show a 4th one. There were some trees, but not higher than the 100 ft altitude. I'll try the VLM. Thanks.

Also I see at time 1m 42.6s , the 'Message' column says 'Go home command failed (reason: Execution of this process has timed out).'. Any idea why this would happen?

I see what you mean... odd. Doesn't the mission start at WP1? I do notice a small piece/tail of the mission path hanging off WP1; that seems odd also. On the Litchi map the last known position (LKP) is slightly off from the Google Earth map. Any idea which one is more accurate? For example...
