Hello all,
this morning, after a couple of months when I didn't have the chance to fly, I wanted to test the 2.7.0 version of Litchi. The first problem I encountered was at take-off: I pressed icon for automatic take-off and after giving the confirmation nothing happened, the Spark remained still on the ground without even turning on the engines. I thought I had made a mistake and had not given the confirmation, I do everything again as before, but the Spark does not move. Ok, I try with the manual take-off with RC and this time everything goes well. I try to do some quick movements to see if the bird responds to commands and there don't seem to be any problems. At this point I move it far enough (about 500 meters) and, with the 65% Spark radio signal, I press the RTH button. After the confirmation, as happened for the automatic take-off, nothing happened. I proceed with the RTH again, but nothing happens. The signal is strong enough, so I exclude that it could not have received it. On the fifth attempt, the app begins to signal me that the RTH has been activated and in fact the Spark was on the way back. After shutting down the engines I tried again to take off automatically and this time it worked the first time.
I wanted to test some automatic procedure of the app, but I would first like to understand why both takeoff and RTH have had problems. I repeat, I exclude that there may have been interference as the take-off took place at two meters from my RC and at the time of the RTH request the Spark was fully controllable and with the 65% radio signal.
I remembered something that happened yesterday about Gimbal. I had set one of the RC function keys to change the position of the camera by 90 degrees, but after setting and trying it hadn't worked. I had then done other things that were not related to the cam, but when I went to try the switch again at 90 degrees it worked. It is not the same thing, but it is as if at the first request the command did not work while it subsequently became available.
I thank in advance anyone who will help me.
