target location by clicking on a point on the Ground Station Flight Data map. Once the location
is reached, the copter will hover at that location, waiting for the next target.
FOLLOW ME
The follow me mode makes it possible for you to have your copter follow you as you move, using
a telemetry radio and a ground station. it’s easiest to use a phone or tablet as your
Follow Me
ground station
. Follow Me mode uses dynamic waypoint feature.
AUTO
In Auto mode Erle-Copter will follow a pre-programmed mission script stored in the brain which
is made up of navigation commands (i.e. waypoints) and “do” commands (i.e. commands that
do not affect the location of the copter including triggering a camera shutter).
Note
Auto mode incorporates the altitude control from altitude hold mode and position con-
trol from Loiter mode and should not be attempted before these modes are flying well.
All the same requirements apply including ensuring that vibration levels and compass in-
terference levels are acceptable and that the GPS is functioning well including returning
an HDOP of under 2.0.
AUTOTUNE
AutoTune attempts to tune the stabilization algorithm to provide the highest response without
significant overshoot. It does this by twitching the copter in the roll and pitch access which
means that the copter needs to be basically flyable in AltHold mode before attempting to use
AutoTune.
